Softening

I feel so blessed to have a husband who can be so softened by the Spirit. A man who acknowledges a need for God's strength. I was so touched by his humble heart this morning as he prayed and headed off to work. My heart can be so hardened. Like soil that is dry and cracked. But the scriptures bring life to that crumbling place. Psalm 1: 2-3 begins with a picture of us meditating on the law day and night, and ends with the result of a firmly planted tree that is yielding the fruit it was made to produce. Yielding the fruit it was made to produce is what stands out so boldly to me here. I was made to carry out a plan of glory for the Father. I am so often confused as to how to get there - how to achieve the master plan of "success and perfection." The psalmist here leads us straight to the Word.

Soften your hearts today, keeping the Word on your mind, so as to hear the voice of the Father as he directs your path and makes known to you His plan of glory for your days.
