Digging deep

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?

I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. (Luke 6:46-48)

Father, let me be one who digs deep. Who doesn’t just skim over your words, but thinks on them and meditates on them. Who seeks to understand them. Who seeks to really know what you’re telling me.

Let your words be the foundation of my life.

Jesus, don’t let be be like those who call you “Lord, Lord,” but don’t do what you say.

You are my King. And I believe you are a good King. So give me ears to hear and a heart to obey you.
