Father God, help us to be doers of Your Word and not hearers only. We plant the seeds of Your Word deep without our hearts, laying a firm foundation for our lives. And though the storms still come, we are not shaken, but can withstand them because we are firmly rooted in Your Word. We fill our hearts with Your Word, and it is out of that abundance that we speak and from that foundation that the circumstances of our lives flow. We give generously, expecting nothing in return. We are merciful and give the gift of forgiveness, not condemnation, the gift that frees not only others, but also sets us free. Thank You, Father, for Your Word and the mighty power in it -- just as powerful and sure today as when Jesus spoke it thousands of years ago. Amen
