Ezekiel 11:19-20
Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19-20 And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.
Observation: A man with a hardened heart cannot walk in God's footsteps and will not have an easy life. God is promising to restore Israel after the judgment has been brought down upon the world.
Application: Seek prayer and guidance upon the first feeling of a hardening heart.
Prayer: Oh Lord, thank You for working on my heart. Rip out my heart of stone and replace it with the soft fleshy heart that you want me to have Jesus. Lord, I desperately want to lead people to You, and I know that I can only do that with a soft heart, with loving guidance, and with Your word. Guide me along that path if it be Your will. -Amen.
