[S] Ezekiel 11:18-20 --
18 When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it.19 And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.
[O] When God restores the Israelites back to their land, the sequence of actions were: 1) cleansing of the land; 2) God gives a new heart & new spirit; 3) people walk His statutes; 4) keep His ordinances and do them. Then the relation between God and His people will be restored completely.
[A] What areas in my life do I need to cleanse? Before asking for a new heart, I must take time and effort to do some housecleaning in and around my life. Then ask God to renew my heart for Him.
[P] Dear Father, please grant me the wisdom and energy to cleanse my life to clean up all detestable things as the first step of renewing my relationship with You. Please replace my heart of stone with Your heart of flesh. In Jesus' name. Amen.
