Jesus identified several thieves that can steal the Word of God from our lives. Satan always tries to take it away. Trouble and persecution robs it because we don’t allow the roots of our devotional life to grow deep. Allowing the deceitfulness of wealth and desires for carnal things choke out the Word’s effectiveness in our lives.

BEWARE. These thieves will nullify your fruitfulness and spiritual effectiveness.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we commit ourselves to being faithful to read Your Word. Speak to us by Your Holy Spirit to warn us when we allow the cares of life to choke out its power in our lives.

DAILY READING: Mark 4-6
