Trading Heart Postures

Hey Family, today I encourage you to take some time and think about your heart posture in response to life's problem and potentially, frustrating people. In full transparency, I know that I can be quick to respond in pride with defensiveness, passivity, and impatience. However, by the grace of God I am learning, daily, to pursue Christ by the way of humility, grace, and intentionality. We all have our flaws, but it's up to us to put them into God's hands that He might do a mighty work in and through us.

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, today I ask that You remove whatever is not pleasing to you and add whatever will bring You the most glory, honor, and praise for the Kingdom. Lord, this world is filled with many paths and various responses to those paths, so I pray that for the sake of Your body, the Church, that You would create in us a Holy heart posture as our foundation to best pursue You and You Kingdom. In Christ Jesus name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

Trading Hearts

Ezekiel 36:24‭-‬32

“ ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 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. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine. Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices. I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!"

" ...when your heart changes, you change, and you have to make new plans."
