Living as Women of Substance : Phrase 5

And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. (Luke 8:14)

Stop the Choke:
Anxiety chokes the Word out of us. Philippians 4:6 tells us to not be anxious for anything. When we are anxious it is then that we need to hear God's Word, if we are worrying we aren't going to hear God's Word because it is being choked out. We are called to be warriors not worriers.

Also if we are immature we will want the "riches & pleasures" of this world and the Word of God will be choked out of our lives. True riches and pleasures are found in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:5-8).

Stop the choke. We will never become a "woman of substance"
that will live a life of maximum impact if we allow anxiety to rule.
