DAY 7 OF 40

Planting and Tending Your Garden

SEED OF TRUTH

Read Ephesians 1:1-10.

Look back through the passage and make a mental list of your spiritual blessings in Christ. Is there one blessing that touches you today? As you see all of these, speak them to your heart and make them personal. For example: "I was chosen before the foundation of the world."

PLANT THE SEED

Quietly recite today's focus verse to yourself. Hide it in your heart and meditate on it throughout the day. Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places."

WATER THE SEED

Consider what it means to be blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing. Take 2-3 minutes to prayerfully think about how you could approach your day today with this in mind. When you have a moment of decision or a crisis today, recite your verse quietly to yourself. Then, go forward in faith, believing "God has blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing." Trust in His strength and remember His love for you.

BEAR THE FRUIT

Blessed with every spiritual blessing.

CLOSE IN PRAYER

Ask the Lord to bring to life all that has been planted in your heart today.

About this Plan

Seeds of Spring

The Bible uses seasons to illustrate God's work in us. This 40-day devotional uses the metaphor of a garden for growing in Christ. You will be given seeds of truth (Scripture), instructions for planting (taking it to heart), and watering (application) that seed. The Lord will grow a beautiful garden of His character in your heart, overflowing with the fullness of the Lord.
