Follow the Laws of the Lord
Ezekiel’s emphasis shifts from
the failures of Judah’s past to
the Promises of Judah’s future.
Jerusalem has fallen; and the
prophet’s tongue silenced for three
years is loosened at last to declare
that a new Shepherd is coming.
He will tenderly care for the flock
of Israel, rescue His people from
their scattered homes of exile and
restore them to their covenant land.
Lord, we will Follow Your Laws:
I will give you a New Heart and
I will put a new spirit within you;
I will take the heart of stone out
and give you a heart of flesh. And
I will put My Spirit in you & Move You
to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws (Ezek 36:26-27).
Then you shall dwell in the land that
I gave to your fathers; you shall be
My people and I will be your God.
I will Deliver you from uncleanness and filthy behaviour. I will call for
the grain and multiply it (v28-29).
Lord, Thank You for giving me a
new heart to live the new life in You.
I really need the Heart of flesh,
the kind that You promise to give.
Fill me with Your desires, Your faith
and everything that pleases You.
For I purpose not only to be Your
child but also to be Your worker.
Help me learn from Your Word and
continue to follow Your ways. Amen.
Lord, Thank You that You have
put Your Holy Spirit within me to
Guide me in all things. Give me
the discipline to do what I must do.
Lead me by the power of Your
Spirit so that I will always listen
to Your Word and Obey Your laws.
Help me to Follow Your leading
and not run ahead or behind
chasing after my own ways. Amen.
Lord, Thank You for the promise
to help us clean up our filthy acts.
We know our Christian life can be a
struggle and we go thro bad times.
But thanks that You God is in the
business of making life better for
us on the inside. You will not leave
us where we are but will Help us
get to be what You want us to be.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen
