Ezekiel 35-37

[Speaking for the LORD, Ezekiel says,] "...I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws..." (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Do God's people have "hearts of stone" today? Do human beings have need of a new spirit now? The Bible's book of Ezekiel discloses the view that thousands of years ago God's people had a "heart of stone." They would follow God's decrees and keep God's laws after God made them tenderhearted, after God put God's own Spirit within.

I believe a process of tenderizing has begun in me. God has planted Spirit within. I am being moved toward true fidelity. I am on my way to God's homeland, and I am thankful.
