The Lord Said: "I Will Change You"

Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. God had promised to bring His people back as the sheep of His fold. 

As God had Ezekiel look into the future, he could see not only the restoration of the people to the land, but the hearts of the people to the Lord.  The passage above is referred to by Jesus and His apostles as a sign of the New Birth and New Covenant God would make with His people.  Their problems (and those of all mankind) have not just been sinful actions, but the heart attitude behind them. We need a heart for Him - to love Him, honor Him, and obey Him. God is in the business of changing people from the inside out. May He and His Spirit work in our hearts today.
