Tag: Bible verses about God turning our heart of stone into a heart of flesh

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-8-20

Deuteronomy 10:16 (NKJV) 16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.

An uncircumcised heart is a hard heart. And with anything that is hard, nothing can penetrate it. Our hearts are closed to whatever God may suggest.

That layer of hardness has to come off if we ever want to fully follow God. It is a circumcision that must take place if we want to grow and walk in obedience, living out the life God so desires for us.

How do we get that layer of skin off our heart? We surrender our ideas and plans to Him. Pick up His word and apply it to our everyday life.

Circumcision takes time, and some of us may have many layers, depending on what we have been involved with or what kinds of things we have been through.

So, it won’t just happen overnight.

There may be bumps on the road to healing, as well. But like most surgeries, we will get through it in time.

The surgery will begin when we give authorization by saying, “I surrender to You, Lord.”

It’s time to get rid of the hard heart and enter into a relationship with a brand new heart and spirit.

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-9-18

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 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.

The heart must remain tender for the love of God to grow in it.

The people around us all have different personality types. And doesn’t it seem like we often end up working around those that irritate us?

Many times it seems difficult to find the people that are easy for us to be around. Boy, wouldn’t things be so much nicer if we could?

But easy is not the way. It will keep us in one place, standing still. Challenge is what causes our hearts to become tender and to grow in the love of God.

The different types of personalities can be beneficial to us if we can just see things the way God does.

Working, or spending a lot of time with someone that is different than we are can teach us a lot of things. Being friends with someone that is opposite in personality type can be a very good thing.

Being married to someone that is so different can also be a wonderful thing, especially if we see the benefits in embracing such a thing.

Our journey here is not about reaching a certain point and just comfortably sitting there, surrounding ourselves only with those that are like us.

No. We need to be constantly learning, growing and embracing that which challenges us to become more than who we are.

We can choose to seek the easy way and always be around those with similar personalities to ours. But if we are always around the same, how will we ever change, grow or learn more than what we already know?

As nice as it may seem, it would get boring and dull.

God can take someone with a different way of doing things and a different personality, temperament, etc., and use it to strengthen us. He can use it to help us open up in those areas where we are so resistant toward anything different.

Imagine if Paul did not let change come to his heart. What if he stayed stiff-necked about what he was doing toward Christians, because he thought that what  he was doing was the right thing to do?

You can see how that part of his heart was closed and hard. But God taught him how to love people that weren’t like him; people that thought differently than him and did things differently. He was challenged.

Paul’s heart changed when he embraced that challenge, and love grew where there was once extreme hatred.

What part of our heart needs changing today? Let God bring in the difference that we need to soften that area in our heart.

A tender heart is beautiful. It’s a heart that God can work with.

Bible verse of The Day – 1-27-16

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 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.

We desperately need a change of heart in this world today.

God is the only one that can do this. We cannot work for this. We cannot pay money for this. We cannot fake this or pretend we have this. It comes only from God.

How do we get this kind of heart? How do we get rid of our heart of stone and have it replaced with a heart of flesh? How do we get a heart that’s rich and flowing in the things of God?

How do we get a heart that is loving, kind, full of wisdom and understanding, compassionate, forgiving, caring, and that trusts Him to lead us in everyday life?

We enter into to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son. We talk to Him. We spend time with Him. We put Him first. And we inquire of Him and His thoughts and plans toward us each day.

He becomes our best friend. We trust Him with our life, our decisions and our concerns. He becomes our guidance each day. Not just on Sunday or Wednesday or when there is a crisis. But every minute of every day.

We give over to Him our greatest valuables and possessions. They become meaningless to us.

Our love for Him becomes so strong and real that we can’t stand to be away from Him or His presence at any given time. We yearn to please Him.

Ezekiel 36:27 (NKJV) 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

He does this for us as we give Him our heart of stone. He breaks it down and gives us a new heart, flowing with a river of living waters. Everywhere we step foot with Christ living in us, we bring life, happiness, peace and JOY!!

John 7:38 (NKJV) 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
