Jeremiah 24:7 (NKJV) 7 Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.<\/p>\n

The people of Israel have a long history of heart problems. And this does not refer to a medical condition.<\/p>\n

The Israelites have spent much of the last several centuries being chastened by God for their behavior.<\/p>\n

God has shown them great favor by intervening on their behalf in situations that would have meant certain death for their entire civilization.<\/p>\n

He rescued them. And in return He asked only for their wholehearted dedication and love.<\/p>\n

The people of Israel were always quick to promise Him all of what He asked for.<\/p>\n

And then just as quick to betray Him by worshiping idols of metal, wood, stone, or anything else they could find to fabricate a god from.<\/p>\n

And then along came Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah; God in the flesh who laid down His life for humanity.<\/p>\n

And the Jews once again grieved God by rejecting Him.<\/p>\n

And why did this happen?<\/p>\n

Because their hearts were hard; prone to practicing rituals and traditions instead of allowing God to soften and shape their hearts into what and who He wanted them to be.<\/p>\n

As followers of Christ, we must also do the same; be cautious to allow God to keep our hearts soft and pliable.<\/p>\n

We need to listen for His voice, and heed what we hear Him say.<\/p>\n

And we must guard our hearts against anything that tries to put distance or enmity (hostility, animosity, friction) between us and our God.<\/p>\n
