E.210 Anchor in the Firmest Foundation

**Brace yourself** 

Life seems cyclical. Either a storm is coming, is beating down presently, or it has just passed. One thing is certain: it’s time to prepare. 

If we brace ourselves, we will go through the hard times, impacted and even devastated, but thriving with the remnants left.

Look down and all around, what foundation have you built your life on? Is it fireproofed? Tornado ready? Hurricane resistant? Freezing snow capable?

Listen to the words of Jesus, in Matthew 5-7, today on the podcast. I pray it leads you to an inside out shift and/or encouragement to remain connected to Jesus day by day.

Things to consider:
-Read passages Matthew 5-7

-Inductive Bible Study technique:

H. Highlight a verse or more that stood out to you

E. Explain what Jesus was saying, why He was speaking in this way, think about context of the culture at that time 

A. Apply what the Holy Spirit is illuminating in your heart when you heard this/read it. Why has God shown you this now? What could God be saying to you right now? How can you apply it?

R. Respond to God with full obedience. Write down or journal a prayer or some actionable step. 

For this last HEAR inductive step, I often use the acronym SPACE as a guide for me to journal my response.

S. Do I have a sin to confess?

P. Is there a promise to step into?

A. What attitude do I need to change?

C. Did God expose a command to obey?

E. What example should I now follow?

Scriptures referenced:

-Matthew 5-7
