Show Me, Lord

Lord, show me the way of righteousness. Help me keep my way in You.

Choked Out

Luke 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

Many believers are affected by the thorns of life. The cares, riches, and pleasures of this life chokes out a life wholly dedicated to God.

When people are more concerned about the riches and pleasures of this life, they are not concerned about their afterlife and how they prepare for it. They are only concerned about the here and now, pleasures which satisfy the soul, but not spirit. Though the believer produces fruit, it cannot grow to perfection. It does not have the proper setting (within the heart, mind, or soul) to mature. It will be lacking, unable to meet its potential, and short of the standard it was always meant to meet.

In order for us to enjoy fruit borne to perfection, we must be able to cast off the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life that were once the object and affection of our hearts. We must be able to delight in the Lord and allow Him to be our joy and reward.

A Question of Position

Many people seek positions of status and wealth.  A person’s status and wealth provide them access to certain people and places not typically offered to others of a lesser status or wealth.  In Psalm 15:1-5, David asks the Lord who shall abide in His tabernacle and who shall dwell in His holy hill.  Here’s the response:

  • walks uprightly
  • works righteousness
  • speaks the truth in his heart
  • backbiteth not with his tongue
  • does not do evil to his neighbor
  • does not take up a reproach against his neighbor
  • in whose eyes a vile person is contemned
  • honors them that fear the Lord
  • swears to his own hurt, and does not change (keeps his promises even when it hurts)
  • does not put not out his money to usury (with interest)
  • does not take a reward against the innocent

The Lord states that he that does these things will never be moved.  Status and wealth can change overnight, but someone that lives unto the Lord in the manner spoken of in Psalm 15 shall never be moved.  Choose your status and position wisely…
