Today’s Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31, NLT- “Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel?”
To find we must search, right? Most translations of this verse state to “make” yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. It takes action on our part to “make” something, doesn’t it?
My experience has been that when I have only waited and listened for the voice of God, I have stayed in silence for an extraordinarily long time without “hearing” anything. However, I have also found that when I seek to know who God is in prayer and then go to His Word, I find a magical combination. Well, not magical but supernatural or better yet described as superspiritual. This is where I “hear” the voice of God and relate with the life of Jesus.
When we seek to know God and His Way we find our new heart and spirit. We find a message that God Himself reveals to us. Our new heart and new spirit are already inside of us yet to find them we must look to Him.
Where are you looking for your new heart and new spirit?
Today’s Prayer: Our Father, who art in Heaven thank You for providing our true heart and spirit. Help us find our new heart and new spirit in Your statutes and in Your Holy Spirit. In You LORD we are found. Help us to live from this new heart and new spirit and bring You glory. Amen
