Open Heavens Devotional June 4, 2026: Uproot the Thorny Heart
Theme: A Brand-New Heart IV Memorise: Revelation 3:15 – “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.” Read: Matthew 13:7, 22 Jesus warns about the thorny ground—those who hear the word but let worldly cares and the lure of riches choke their faith. You may appear committed, yet cling to habits that hinder true transformation. Serving God while seeking loopholes reveals a heart still entangled in worldly pleasures. True surrender goes beyond rules; it reflects Christ’s heart. The Holy Spirit leads you to avoid anything that hinders your witness—even if it’s not explicitly forbidden in Scripture. Examine your life for hidden thorns and be willing to let them go. Prayer Focus: • Ask God to expose and remove every thorn of worldliness from your heart. • Pray for grace to fully surrender and bear lasting fruit. • Reflect: Am I clinging to Christ, or am I still seeking ways to serve Him on my terms? Bible in One Year: Job 35–38
