Good Morning!! Like that hardened ground, I was once hardened. I let the demands of a busy life crowd the Lord out of the center of my life. Our pastor encouraged us to read the Bible consistently, but for the new Christian, reading God's Word can be hard, boring and uninteresting. Slowly, over time, this will change.
[The righteous person] is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.—Psalm 1:3 (NIV)
But the key word here is consistently. You will to enjoy reading the Bible. Your prayer life will improve, and you will have a new appreciation for scripture,...and it's power. We needed regular, deep watering by God's Word to change our hardened crust and give us the life that God wants for all of us.

God's Word can, and will, soften even the hardest of hearts.
Thank You, Father, for Your patience with us. May Your wonder-filled Word, reach to the depths of our very souls. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
"We are made for service,...service to our God,...and service to each other."
