Tag: Bible verses about letting God change our heart

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-3-25

Matthew 7:7 (LSB) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

God’s word is clear when it comes to teaching us that He wants us to go to Him and ask of Him when we are in need.

God also makes it very clear that if we ask, we will receive!

Now that we understand this Biblical truth, let’s look at it a little more closely, so we can be sure to understand it and put it into practice in the way God wants us to.

We know, based on the verse above, that God wants to give us what we ask for.

Considering that, we should carefully weigh our requests.

Why?

To be sure that we are asking in accordance with what is best for us and is aligned with His will.

You see, if we fail to carefully consider our requests, we can errantly ask for things that may hurt us or cause us distress in the future.

This may be difficult for us to foresee. But if we take certain steps, we can eliminate much of the “risk”.

Here’s what can help us.

His word says that He gives us the desires of our heart. But look at what else it says!

Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

We must delight ourselves in Him. And we must commit our way to Him.

This is critically important for us to understand.

And as we learn to delight ourselves in Him and commit our way to Him, our heart changes, as do the desires of our heart.

Then, our will becomes better aligned with His will. And this leads to our requests being less self-centered and more God-centered.

And this is a win/win since we are now no longer seeking those things that are self-serving, but those things that are God-centric and benefitting the kingdom of God.

So, let us seek what He wants in us, that what we seek in our requests will bring glory and honor to Him and His kingdom.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-25

Mark 7:15 (NKJV) 15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

It’s what is in us that hurts us.

What can we work on today together? We all have an area where we are weak.

Whether it’s our mouth, our desires, our anger, our habits, etc., there is something in us that, if we don’t bring it into submission, can defile us and cause problems in our walk with Christ.

Not one of us is perfect. And we all have inner things that, right now as this is being read, we know exactly what they are.

Mark 7:16 (NKJV) 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Are we willing to work on them? Will we let God put His finger on it today and help us overcome that which is in us that defiles us.

Let us do this together. Pick that one thing that stands out the most, and let’s focus on allowing God to help us turn it around.

Together, right now, we are praying and agreeing with you that we will have victory over it!

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-25

Mark 4:8 (NKJV) 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

In order to accomplish a “good, grounded heart”, that heart must be teachable; a heart that wants to learn and go deeper. A heart that can receive and accept the truth, and which allows that truth to penetrate and do its work deep within us.

Jesus explains that those seeds that fell on good ground represent those who hear the word of God and accept it! They are the ones who bear fruit from the changed heart and understanding that comes through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 4:20 (NKJV) 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

When we accept the truth, we will want to repent for our old ways as we learn that they are not the right way. We will willingly want to turn from them.

We may not always know how right away. But the willingness to try and start to get it right is there.

It is in us. We have accepted to change and follow God. As we allow the changes to come, our ways will become more like God’s ways, and we will bear His fruit!

Be that good grounded heart. Let His words penetrate us.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-9-24

Psalm 50:10-12 (NKJV) 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine. 12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

God owns it all!

What can we give to Him who has everything?

The one thing that God loves is an obedient heart of praise; He loves to have our thanks and He loves to have our worship!

But how can we give Him such worship, praise and thanks if our heart is made of stone? 

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.

When we allow God to change us, He softens our heart by His word. He teaches us how to make righteous decisions.

As we call on Him, He will answer us, showing us great and mighty things that we do not know. 

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

For we have been created by Him to do good works. We are His workmanship!

Let us give Him praise today and worship Him from a heart that is truly grateful for Who He is and all that He has done!

Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-24-19

Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

How does our heart get clean? By letting God touch those dark spots; those hard spots, those spots that need repair. Also, by letting His love grow in us.

How does that happen? By doing what His word says; do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use us.

Matthew 5:44 (NKJV) 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…

Love will grow in our heart and bring healing to that hardness.

We don’t want to do good and pray occasionally or whenever we are in the mood.  We want to have a steadfast spirit, meaning resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering.

We do this on a regular basis, no matter how we may be feeling that day. Our emotions are not going to like this when we don’t let them have a say in the matter.

Be steadfast in the cleansing of our heart and loving one another.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-6-19

1 Peter 3:11 (NKJV) 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

When evil tries to pull on us or cause us to do something we don’t want to do, this scripture directs us to “turn away” and do good.

This is not easy, especially if we like what we are indulging in. It will take a change of heart.

Have you ever tried to change a heart? Whoa, it’s stubborn as a mule. I have never changed one on my own and probably never will. But I do know the One who can, if we are willing to let Him deal with the root of the problem.

God changes a heart! His love digs deep and touches that very spot that needs touching.

In order to turn away from these types of things completely, it has to be a deep-down, heartfelt turning. This means that we sincerely want nothing to do with it and we ask God for help. It has to be real in order to work.

We will feel at times like there is a constant battle going on inside us. This is a battle between our flesh and our spirit. This is, “I want it, but part of me knows it’s wrong and I shouldn’t”.

There is no peace in this war. Nothing but frustration, anger and confusion. Who want’s to live like that? No, we want peace.

How do we get it?

The verse says let him seek and pursue it. Go to God, confess to Him. Tell Him what is happening on the inside and let Him direct our steps. That peace comes when we listen and follow His steps.

He will be straight forward with us and not beat around the bush. But we must be serious in our seeking and pursuing.

Peace should be a walk that every believer seeks and pursues daily.

Bring us peace Lord, help us get rid of the things that cause us to war within our bodies, minds, and our hearts. Help us to choose good things. Amen.

1 Peter 2:15 (NKJV) 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—
