*"STAYING PASSIONATE"* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God's word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced."* (Mark 4:18-19 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
One of the things the enemy also uses to fight and drain our passion for God and the ways of God, is the pursuit of wealth and relevance. This happens in either of two ways, or both. You are constantly trying to make it big, and get better financially, or you are so financially rich. The two states have a tendency of the same effect-- keep you preoccupied with activities and plans, that leave you bereft of God!
This strategy always works when we don't have God as our number one priority. It is not bad in itself to desire wealth and relevance in this life but if you don't strike a balance while doing so, you will definitely lose your passion for God.
The devil is the prince of this world. He knows exactly how to use worldly affairs to clog and becloud our minds, and deprive us of passion for God and the ways of God. He knows that we need wealth to do the works of God, yet will either attack our wealth so we are always trying to meet up, or allow us to have so much of it without ability to focus on our passion for God.
In all, we must take heed that our passion for God is not sacrificed on the altar of pursuit for wealth and relevance.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The seed cast in the weeds represents the ones who hear the kingdom news but are overwhelmed with worries about all the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it."* (Mark 4:18-19(The Message))
