Verse Discussion #2

I found these two passages quite significant,


Ezekiel 34:2-4  "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves!... You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured.  You have not brought back the strays of searched for the lost."

Erin, your blog, undivided heart seems to hinge upon this idea:

Ezekiel 36: 25-27  I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.  I will give you a new heart and you a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.  And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my degrees and be careful to keep my laws."

I look forward to hearing your comments.

  1. For me, it's interesting that you chose Ezekial 36:25-27, Amy, because God placed it on my heart to memorize that passage. Because I am so hard on myself, I think God gave me this to memorize to remind me that He is continually cleansing me and renewing my spirit. I will never be perfect this side of heaven, but because God has put His Holy Spirit in me, He will ALWAYS be moving my heart to follow His decrees and be careful to keep His laws. I should rest in His work in me and just be more aware of His Spirit leading me.
