I will give you a new heart
January 8, 2021I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity
January 9, 2021We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the Lord … Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt.
For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.
“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile you. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile you; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile you.”
Evil people bring evil things out of the evil stored up in their heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
Then the word of the LORD came to me … I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
