(ESV)\n\n This week we are looking at the Parable of the Sower.\n ``And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up\n with it and choked it. ... And as for what fell among\n the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on\n their way they are choked by the cares and riches and\n pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.''\n\n\n In 1974, Harry Chapin wrote a song about the problems of a\n father making time for his son.[1] Everything else took priority,\n work, and money were more important than being present for the\n son's first steps, or learning to throw a ball, or all the other\n things which bring the joy of raising a child. Our relationship\n with God is no different. The quest for fame and fortune, the\n struggle to make ends meet, to stretch the paycheck to cover the\n bills, become more important than taking time to hear of the\n Father's love for His children.\n\n The devil, our sinful flesh, and the joys or problems of\n this world all conspire to take our eyes off of Christ Jesus.\n The promise, ``I will get to it later,'' never is fulfilled. Our\n priority should not be the things of this world, but the\n blessings of God, our relationship with Him, our relationship\n with the people He has placed around us.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith which seeks first the kingdom of\n God, which seeks the good of our neighbor, and which ignores the\n allure of the transient things of this world. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
