I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh. When we have endured great pain in our soul, our hearts can become hard and unwilling or even unable to love. People can develop hard hearts for many reasons. I had a hard heart because I had been abused as a child and because people who told me they loved me abandoned me. I can remember a time when I felt that people had used me for their own selfish purposes and taken advantage of me for my whole life.

So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Every believer has the responsibility to live right, to be a doer of the Word, and not just a hearer. Motivated by the reverential fear of the Lord, we can learn to live carefully and begin to make a difference in the world we live in. You and I need to be careful about what we allow into our spirits and how we live our lives. Proverbs says to guard our heart with all diligence because out of it flows the springs of life. I believe we should have a careful attitude about how we live not a casual or a careless one. We need to be careful about what we watch, what we listen to, what we think about, and who our friends are. I'm not saying we need to live according to the strict and demanding dictates of man. I had a very legalistic relationship with God for years and was miserable, so the last thing I want to do is teach legalism. What I am saying is that we shouldn't compromise. We should recognize our responsibility as Christians to live our lives in such a way that unbelievers will be attracted to God by our behavior.

This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. When we wait to see how we feel before we know if we can enjoy each day, we give emotions control over our lives. But thankfully, we can make decisions that are not based on feelings. If we are willing to make good choices regardless of how we feel, God will be faithful to help us do so. Living the good life that God offers us requires us to be obedient to His way of being and doing. He gives us the strength to follow His teachings, but we must choose to do it. He helps us, but we must participate by choosing to obey His Word instead of simply doing whatever we feel like doing. For example, I may feel like avoiding someone because they have hurt my feelings or treated me unfairly, but I can choose to pray for them and treat them as Jesus would while I wait for Him to do something in the situation. If I act according to my feelings, I will forfeit peace and joy. Prayer of the Day: Help me, God, to make good choices regarding my emotions and not to allow them to control my life.

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective] Jesus is the Word made flesh, so when we read, study, and meditate on the Word of God, we are fellowshipping with Jesus. As His Word becomes part of us, we are transformed into His image see 2 Corinthians His Word has inherent power in it, and it changes us! We are instructed in the Bible to meditate on the Word of God, and that simply means to think about it, roll it over and over in our minds, speak it, and know that as we do, it is renewing our minds and teaching us to think as God thinks. Our thoughts are extremely important because they go before our words and all of our actions. God has a good plan for each of us and we will see it come to pass as we renew our minds see Romans We seem to find it very easy to meditate on our problems. We call it worry!

First Name:. Last Name:. James AMPC says, …any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin. It seems to lock up somehow after a period of time. He wasn't speaking about planning and thinking ahead. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh. Or think of the words from the psalmist: Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust lean on, rely on, and be confident also in Him and He will bring it to pass Psalm AMPC. I love the devotional - it is always encouraging but after awhile the subject matter won't load completely. I heard about a couple whose daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness that wasn't covered by insurance. I understand how people can become hard-hearted, and I also know that it is a difficult, lonely, miserable way to live. Most people don't want to hear that message, and they seem to find an odd comfort in thinking that worrying is beyond their control. Motivated by the reverential fear of the Lord, we can learn to live carefully and begin to make a difference in the world we live in. Or is there is room for improvement? Charles Stanley Devotional. The more you focus on the problems, the larger they become.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. One way the devil may try to keep you trapped in pain in your soul is by making you think you are missing out on something good you could have enjoyed had you not suffered the way you did. He may try to convince you that your life was destined to be wonderful before those painful events took place, but now that you have been wounded, it will not be as good as it might have been.
