Sometimes it's not one big decision that pulls our attention away from God.
It's the accumulation of everyday worries.
The pressure to succeed.
The pursuit of financial security.
The endless responsibilities competing for our attention.
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus describes how the worries of life and the deceitfulness of wealth can choke out the Word, keeping it from bearing fruit.
And Mark Halstensgard brings us back to this important question:
What are we allowing to take root in our hearts?
Because even good things can begin taking up space that belongs to something more important.
The invitation isn't to abandon our responsibilities or feel guilty for having them.
It's to recognize when our priorities have shifted and make room for what God wants to grow in us. 🌱
What might be crowding out your time with God lately?
