Day 6: Tools for Transformation

Observation:
The prophet Jeremiah told the people, “Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns.” Transformation requires tools. You don’t get soft soil by wishing; it takes the plow of repentance, the shovel of intentionality, and the shears of surrender. Hardened hearts need to be broken up. Shallow hearts need to go deeper. Crowded hearts need to be cleared. And good hearts need constant tending. Soil can change, but not without work.

This is where the Spirit meets us, not just to comfort, but to cultivate. He shows us what needs to be turned over, what needs to be dug out, and what needs to be cut away. The good news? God doesn't just demand growth; He gives you the tools to grow.

Application:
Which tool do you need today? The plow, the shovel, or the shears? Invite the Holy Spirit to start the work, and commit to staying in the process.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, use whatever tool You need. Break, dig, or prune, just don’t leave me the same. I want to be transformed.
