Ezekiel
18:31
"Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new
heart and a new spirit.”
In Ezekiel Chapter 18, prior to verse
31, the Lord makes clear that He will judge each of us according to
our ways. and he provides for us a guide by which to live.
In verse 31, we are told to repent of
our wrongdoings and make a new heart and a new spirit. When we
realize that only God can make our hearts new, we humble ourselves
and take responsibility for our own actions. We then are able to take
steps to make positive changes in our lives according to God's will.
He wants nothing more than for each of
us to return to Him. He provides all the tools we need to do so, but
we must do the work, being constantly mindful of the choices we make
and the actions we take.
Dear Lord, please help me to build a
new heart and spirit and to turn away from my old sinful ways. Help
me to turn my life over to You and obey Your will. Thank you for your
forgiveness and strength as I seek to find a new life in You. In the
name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
