Day 31:
Matthew 13:18–19: "When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart."
Devotion and Reflection:
- The Thought: Studying for a test but leaving the paper blank is a waste of effort. Hearing God’s Word without trying to understand it leaves our hearts "open" for the enemy to steal the truth before it ever sticks.
- Response: Think about the last sermon or Bible verse you heard. Did you actually think about what it meant, or did you let it "bounce off"?
- Application: Ask God today: "Lord, give me a heart that wants to understand. Don’t let the distractions of today snatch away your truth."
