Scripture Passage: James 1:21 NKJV
"Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." - Jam 1:21 NKJV
Word review: implanted - to put or fix firmly: to implant sound principles in a child's mind. (Dictionary.com)
My Observation:
I am to make a total transformation, an altercation that has a permanent mar or turn in my behavior.
My Application:
I need to let Gods word form a new root. Put aside all stupidity, things that don't matter, wrong doing, etc. and take on the word as if it was a "boob job". Literally, an implanted will.
My Prayer:
Lord, I command Your word to take and implant a root in my heart. Change my very being to function as if I was Your robot.

S.O.A.P. (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) Notes from my quiet time:
My Observation
In trials and tests, it is necessary to keep the way of God in outward and inward behavior.
My Application
- Enduring trials will lead to a crown of life
- Yielding to temptation will lead to death physically
- In the midst of trials and tests be slow to speak, swift to ear, and slow to anger
This was a very relevant to this past weekend. It was like my husband was getting on my nerves so easily. I could not get why I was so irritated with him. Now I see! Do not yield to the temptation to react in anger or irritation it is only a trial. I also kept my cool when my 8-month old went berserk on Sunday. Everything in the world happened as I was trying to leave for church. I did not sweat, cry, cuss, or slam anything--just kept my focus on God.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
"who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God.
Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His

of Jesus Christ from the dead,
having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the
word of God which lives and abides forever,
that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit
of promise,"
DECIPHERING THE CODE:
Who were born of His own will by the word of truth, has begotten us AGAIN, not
of corruptible seed, be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS, who FIRST trusted in Christ, were
SEALED with the Holy Spirit of PROMISE.
*******************************
What an awesome word this morning for us! We are a firstfruits through the
resurrection of Christ, simply because we believe in Him. God has also sealed
promises in us through this trust in Christ.
How powerful are we as believers? Lets use our power today to overcome
challenges presented to us.
