HEART - GOD’S WORD TRANSFORMS HEARTSSample

Refocus & Refresh

Life application builds our houses on a solid foundation through the hearing, believing, and obeying of God’s Word.  “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on a solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash” (Matthew 7:24-27 NLT). 

Obedience aligns our lives, relationships, and mindset to live a more joyful, secure, God-directed life. Refocusing on and aligning our hearts to God’s Word frees us to refresh others.
