Thorny Ground: Surrendering Fully to God – Open Heavens Devotional, June 4, 2026

In today’s devotional, we explore the third soil type in Jesus’ parable: the thorny ground. We reflect on Revelation 3:15 and Matthew 13:7, 22 to understand how worldly distractions can choke spiritual growth. We examine how partial surrender keeps the heart unfruitful. A devoted chorister who continues in secret sin shows the danger of seeking loopholes to enjoy both faith and worldly pleasures. True Christian living goes beyond rule-keeping. We discuss fleeing every appearance of evil and embracing a Christ-like character that naturally shuns what hinders our walk with God. The devotional closes with focused prayer points to remove every thorn of worldliness, receive a brand-new heart, and bear lasting fruit for Christ.
