Fourth Ripple:


Cultivate
As we receive food into our bodies, we receive nutrients to live.  However, it is as we Hydrate with water, that those nutrients begin to
break down and become usable for the rest of the body.  You see it is
water that dissolves the nutrients we need.  It cultivates our body and prepares it to receive the sustenance it needs.

Similarly, the Word of God does the same thing as we receive it into our Spirit.  It prepares our Spirit to hear from God and to be able to aptly apply what God says to us.  This will be most effective after we are saturated, under the Spirits control, and learn how to better prioritize our lives.  If we are going to hear from God and become obedient, we must Hydrate!

The Verses
Colossians 3:1-2
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
