Cultivating a Thorn-Free Heart – Daily Devotional June 4, 2026
Thursday, June 4, 2026 | Theme: A Brand-New Heart IV Memory Verse: Revelation 3:15 – “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot…” Reflect on Matthew 13:7, 22 where Jesus describes thorny soil choking the seed. This represents believers who hear God’s word but cling to worldly pleasures. We look at examples like a devoted chorister living in secret sin and common loopholes used to justify compromise. True Christian living is not about ticking boxes but being like Christ. When the Holy Spirit dwells in us, we naturally flee anything that hinders our relationship with God, even if it isn’t explicitly labeled sinful. Prayer Points: 1. Thank God for exposing lukewarm hearts and calling us to full surrender. 2. Ask for mercy where we’ve sought loopholes to balance faith and worldliness. 3. Pray for the uprooting of every thorn of worldliness from our hearts. 4. Seek the grace to be fully surrendered—not cold or lukewarm, but burning with love for Christ. Reflective Question: Are you fully surrendered to God, or are you still looking for loopholes to live like the world?
