Don't Let The Word Get Choked

 

 

 

Mark 4:19. (NKJV)

 

19. "And the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful."

 

This verse, taken from the parable of the Sower, says that the deceitfulness of riches will choke God’s Word in your life. But riches have no power in and of themselves; they can only deceive you if you let them.  You set your own self up to be deceived when you choose to seek riches over doing God’s Word. God wants us to possess the riches, and not let the riches possess us.
