Day 26 - How Does Your Garden Grow?

***I find today's Made to Crave Devotional title slightly annoying, because I have been asked or had the words sung to me, "How does your garden grow?"****

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans."  Proverbs 16:3

Thought for the Day:  I wanted the flowers, but not the work.  Isn't that the way it is with many things in life?

Lysa used the illustration of someone's hard work in a garden to reap the reward of beautiful flowers:

  • He had a goal.
  • He had a plan.
  • He worked at it.
  • He sacrificed for it.
It took:

  • Intentionality
  • Sweat Equity
  • Determination
  • Consistency
  • Time
  • Patience
I want to be a woman of God that possess all of these qualities & I want to be a woman of integrity!

Today's Prayer:
Dear Lord, I want to feed on Your truth today.  I commit to turn my focus to You
Help me to plan well, work hard, and sacrifice with intention.
In Jesus' name.  Amen
