December 5 "I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them." Ezekiel 11:19 We could say that in order to understand the times and the approach of the Lord Jesus in these times, we need this undivided heart and new spirit. The brand-new idea that began with Jesus was that of never-ending rebirth within all creation. We will not be given an undivided heart in order to get on easier in the world or in order that we have no outward difficulties. These things are not worth the trouble. They may make us quite comfortable but they pass away. But we must have a new heart, for a unanimous expectation of something from God springing to life is grievously hurt by individuals who are so dreadfully concerned with outward matters. They take these so seriously! Let us be fresh and joyful, thinking of what the Savior does for us! Let God's kindness fill our hearts! In your relationships, your conversations with others, try to get away from outward things to some extent. Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, from Jesus Is Victor, Of One Heart. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A PRAYER FOR TODAY Blumhardt's prayer for today and every day of the year. http://blumhardts.com/bl/DailyPrayer.htm?source=Breakfast Like what you read today?
