God s Word: Sending forth creative power.. Soak it in! Let it take root! When is my heart most open to hearing Jesus, the Word? When I am quiet? When someone says something kind to me? When someone challenges me to do better? When I see someone in need? Do I allow myself to be vulnerable enough to listen and then act on it? How do I use the Word so that it does achieves the end for which God sent it?
