Soil Check

Soil Check-Week One, Day 5
"Jesus said the way you respond to the word of God reveals the condition of your heart, and will determine what God will do in your life."
1)Trampled, hardened soil-"When you allow your heart to become hardened and desensitized by the things of the world, God's word does not penetrate your heart in order to change your life.
2)Rocky, shallow soil-"We can attend a church service and even be an active participant, yet never let the word of God penetrate our lives." Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say? Luke 6:46
3)Thorny soil, full of weeds-"These people hear the word from God but the cares, riches, and pleasures of life are so important to them that God's word is choked out.
4)Fertile, receptive soil-Blackaby says, "I have desired in my life always to have a heart so open and unobstructed that any word coming to me from God can multiply in me as God desires. I regularly take inventory of the soil in my life."

What is the last thing God clearly said to you?

Let's Pray:Father, to know you is to love you and to love you is to obey you. Forgive us when we let the soil of our lives get out of control and unproductive to Your purposes. Forgive us when we listen to the wrong voices and are easily deceived as to what is fruitful! The more time we spend in the Word the more clearly we recognize Your voice and rapidly respond. This world is a mess Lord and we need our Shepherd guiding us more than ever before. In Your precious Name, Amen
