Daily Devotional – A Brand-New Heart IV: Overcoming Thorny Ground
Theme: A Brand-New Heart IV (Thorny Ground) Memory Verse: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.” Revelation 3:15 In Matthew 13:7,22, Jesus compares those who hear His word but allow worldly cares and riches to choke it to seed sown among thorns. Such hearts may seem devoted yet refuse to let go of sinful pleasures, rendering their faith unfruitful. Reflect on areas where you might be seeking loopholes—questioning whether certain sins are forbidden or claiming harmlessness in worldly habits. True surrender means fleeing anything that hinders your walk with God, whether explicitly named in Scripture or not. Prayer: Ask for a heart that rejects compromise, uproots worldliness, and bears lasting fruit. Seek full surrender so your faith shines without shame.
