Sow Strength into Your Heart

Week 5: The Word of God


Strength is sown in the heart when we hear what God speaks.
John 6: 63-71

When we were in high school, Daddy began to carry the mail. It was hard to make it as a farmer and three of his children would be entering college within five years of each other. But, the biggest blessing of carrying the mail was not the financial benefits.

The biggest change in Daddy, the way he conducted himself, occurred because as he carried the mail he listened to Christian radio. He listened primarily to the preaching and teaching ministry of WRVL 88.3FM in Lynchburg, VA.

Instead of coming home at the end of the day, tired and short-tempered because there was still work to do on the farm, Daddy jumped into the work with more joy, sharing the insights and the lessons of the day with us as we worked. Do you need that kind of change in your life? How will you conduct yourself so you can hear the word of God more?
