Profound Respect for God;
Understanding Fully that He is God;
Responsive to His Touch
God desires a heart that fears Him which will lead me to worship Him with an awe-filled reverence and profound respect. A heart that desires to keep all His commandments so that it may go well with me and with my children forever (Deuteronomy 5:29). This is the type of heart that I desire in me to worship Him with all of me.
God desires to give me a heart to know Him, understanding fully that He is Lord; I will be His and He will be my God. I will return to Him with my whole heart (Jeremiah 24:7). I know that this is why David was a man after God's own heart for though he sinned, he always returned to God with his whole heart. I, too, want to be a woman after God's own heart. When I fall short, I pray that I will return to God with my whole heart.
God has given me a new heart and put a new spirit within me. He has taken my heart of stone and given me a heart of flesh, that is responsive to His touch, that I may walk in His statutes and keep His commandments and obey them (Ezekiel 11:19-20). Therefore, He has made me new and given me a heart that desires to serve, love, and worship Him. When I find myself in a foul mood, I need to return to Him and ask Him to renew a steadfast spirit within me.
God alone has the power to change any heart. What is the condition of your heart today?
My Prayer: Lord God, You alone have the power to change my heart and the heart of any man or woman. Forgive me, Lord, when I stray or when my heart is a heart of stone. Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Amen.
