Planting and Tending Your Garden SEED OF TRUTH Read Ephesians 6:1-4. God is a God of order, and the concepts of honor and submission are throughout the Bible. Read these verses and take note of the verse the Lord is speaking to you most specifically. Don't brush it aside, but take it to heart. Ask the Lord to help you meditate upon this today. Think about it. Ask the Lord to bring anything to the surface that you need to bring to Him. PLANT THE SEED Quietly recite today's focus verse to yourself. Hide it in your heart and meditate on it throughout the day. Ephesians 6:2-3 "Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise), that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." WATER THE SEED Are you honoring your parents? Are you training up your children in the way they should go so that they aren't frustrated? Do you need to confess past sins? Perhaps you were wounded by a parent. Allow the Lord to tenderly care for you. Permit Him into that private place. Believe that He is able to heal anything and everything. Do you need to ask Him to help you forgive? Regardless of what parents you have or had, consider what it would look like to honor your parents this week. If your parents aren't still living, consider how you can honor them with your words and deeds. Think about the legacy they have left to you and ask the Lord if you are to carry on any of the honorable and excellent things they taught you. Thank Him for being your heavenly Father and thank Him for the circumstances of your childhood trusting that He does work all things together for good for those who love Him. Read Romans 8:18-30. BEAR THE FRUIT Honor your parents. Honor your heavenly Father. CLOSE IN PRAYER Ask the Lord to bring to life all that has been planted in your heart today.
