A Circumcised Heart

Scripture Deut 30:5-6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live

Observation: I need my heart circumcised because there is a layer of evilness around it so much of the time. My heart is hard towards others putting my desires above theirs and God’s. I need that hardness removed from my heart that it would be bare before my Lord and that my life can be used by Him. I want that because I hate the way it feels when I do wrong and I look back at what I should have done that would honor God. I want to do that first, the things that pleases my Lord.

Application: Think before I act. If I can stop before I do anything and ask God for His guidance, I know He will give it to me. I want to do what is right and Satan knows how to push my buttons. Think before I do and ask what would Jesus what me to do, how can I honor Him with my life and decisions I make today.

Prayer: My Lord I have such a hateful heart at times and left to my own accord I will do what is wrong. Guide me with the Holy Spirit and choose the path you desire me to walk. Circumcise my heart and remove these evil and selfish desires.
