*DAILY DEW 8/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."* (Mark 4: 7) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:7, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, where some seeds fall among thorns. The thorns represent the worries, riches, and pleasures of life that choke out the Word of God, preventing it from bearing fruit. This parable warns against allowing worldly concerns to dominate our lives, causing us to lose focus on our spiritual growth. The thorns in this parable symbolize the distractions and temptations that can suffocate our spiritual lives. When we prioritize material possessions, wealth, or worldly desires over our relationship with God, we risk losing the fruitfulness that comes from following Him. Jesus' teaching encourages us to be mindful of the things that can choke out our spiritual growth. This parable challenges us to evaluate our priorities and ensure that our relationship with God remains paramount. By focusing on eternal things rather than temporary distractions, we can cultivate a fruitful spiritual life. Jesus' words remind us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide for our needs. This parable invites us to reflect on our own lives: Are there thorns that are choking out our spiritual growth? Are we prioritizing our relationship with God above all else? By recognizing and removing the distractions that hinder our spiritual progress, we can experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. _MEDITATION:_ *"Don't let thorns of distraction, complacency, or bad habits suffocate your growth.
