Today’s Scripture: Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? Ezekiel 18:31 ESV
Unloading guilt, sins and habits that weigh us down gives us new life! Just cast these transgressions away! Let go and come alive with a new heart and a new spirit.
This affirmation was one the Lord laid on my heart almost four years ago and my heart and spirit are even more alive and joyful today. His greatness and His joy continue to fill my once broken heart.
Ezekiel 18 states several times that if we turn to the LORD and live for Him we will find His pleasure. When we turn to the LORD we do what is just and what is right and God is pleased. God is faithful to give us this new heart and new spirit. Are you able to cast aside those things that rob you of your aliveness? Have you accepted God’s promise of forgiveness?
Are you more alive today? Do you need to cast something away?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty God, thank You for my new heart and my new spirit. Thank You for accepting and forgiving my sins. Thank You for filling my heart and my spirit with Your love and Your pleasures. I pray to help others experience Your pleasure. I pray that we let go of those things that kill us and turn to Your ways and live. Amen
