A New Covenant of the Heart

Covenant with God

Signs of God's Covenant


Spirit Filled Heart

Jeremiah 31:31-34 The Message

31-32 “That’s right. The time is coming when I will make a brand-new covenant with Israel and Judah. It won’t be a repeat of the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant even though I did my part as their Master.” God’s Decree.
33-34 “This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God. And they will be my people. They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about God. They’ll know me firsthand, the dull and the bright, the smart and the slow. I’ll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I’ll forget they ever sinned!” God’s Decree.

For Reflection
Though we may loose our way, forget who we are, and deny our creator, God will never give up on us.  We are made in God's image and we too are God's people. We have a direct line to God, who celebrates with us and cries with us. God holds no hidden agenda, no grudge. God only holds on to the hope that we will reconcile with God.

Pray
Give praise and thanks to God for never giving up hope in humankind. Pray for the reconciliation of all people to the living God.  Pray to continue to grow into grace.
