Prepare my Heart Water it with the Word

Day 5

Fertilizing a garden is important so that the soil can be nutrient rich.  Whatever is inside the soil will be absorbed by the plants. 

Fruits and vegetables are effected by the amount of water and nutrients in the soil. Weak soil results in weak plants. 

When we think of preparing our hearts we must turn our attention to what we are allowing to take residence in them.

 Is the condition of your heart strong in the Word or weak in the Word?

As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart. Proverbs 27:19

Ezra was a man who focused on God's word.

For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. (Ezra 7:10).

Ezra was committed to seek out God's direction for his life and follow it. This commitment resulted in Ezra seeking out the scriptures and living a life of obedience to them.  

We too must make this kind of decision to follow God by obeying His word and committing ourselves to fully know the scriptures. 

Will you make this commitment to know God's word, live it and teach others about it?

Prayer
Jesus your word is important to me. Prepare my heart by flooding it with your truth. Thank you for the promise that your Word is truth (John 17:17). Every time that I spend time in your Word show me more of 
yourself!
