Ezekiel 36:26-28 – I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.
Notice how giving God is in this verse. He wants you to have everything you need to follow Him and everything you need to be obedient to His word. He has given you a heavenly heart, one that beats for Him. He has given you a new spirit, one that is connected to His will. Now that you have the heart and the spirit, you are fully capable of doing all He asks of you and expects of you.
Challenge:
Having the heart and spirit from God does not guarantee you will always do everything He says to you or asks of you. But it sure does increase your chances of getting things right. Your challenge this week is to listen to that new heart and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. Start with the small things that you already know He wants you to do. Like, being thankful for having Him in your life and for the blessings He has given to you. Be committed to praying and speaking to the Lord every day. Consider who God wants you to forgive for the wrongs they have done to you. This is how you will walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and keep your heart right before Him. God bless you.
