Seeds of Spring: A Woman's 40-day JourneyMostra

Planting and Tending Your Garden SEED OF TRUTH Read Ephesians 2:11-16. Look again at verse 12. What words does Paul use to describe our position before Christ? But what does Paul say in verse 13 that has changed all that? PLANT THE SEED Quietly recite today's focus verse to yourself. Hide it in your heart and meditate on it throughout the day. Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." WATER THE SEED In 1 Peter 2:10 we are told, "Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy." So often we find ourselves feeling as though we are unable to draw as near to the Lord as we would like. There seems to be a wall or a chasm. As you meditate on your scripture today, focus on the truth that the Lord has brought you near, the curtain has been torn in two, and you are able to enter into His throne room at anytime. Make the most of your day today by reciting this scripture over and over and choosing to believe what it says instead of how you feel. BEAR THE FRUIT Brought near by the blood of Christ. CLOSE IN PRAYER Ask the Lord to bring to life all that has been planted in your heart today.
