Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will
cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you
a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone
out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within
you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and
do them.
~ Ezekiel 36:25-27
When God comes into our life, He takes the old man and we are a new creation,
with a heart that is no longer stone, but is now flesh. Our hard hearts are
gone, and He gives us a heart He can write on and mold into the image of His
Son, Jesus Christ. We become more sensitive to His Word, we long to obey Him,
and sinning hurts us. Our tender hearts long to obey Him, and we become more
sensitive to Him and to those around us.
Deep within this darkened heart of mine
The Word of God still shines with hope.
Deep within this frightened life I live
A voice so soft and still grows.
And when the sun is hidden and
the shadows cloud my starless skies
Amazingly I turn and see a light.
God's promises
are rainbows in the night,
Shining hope inside
When shadows cloud my eyes.
His promises
Are rainbows in the night,
Guiding through the darkest times.
God's promises are rainbows in the night.
Looking back on all the roads I've known,
The echoes of songs I've sung;
Looking back, there's a thread of love and grace,
Connecting each line and space I've known.
And all the years I thought were lost or empty
searching without clues,
Now trace a journey to the highest truth.
God's promises
are rainbows in the night,
Shining hope inside
When shadows cloud my eyes.
His promises
Are rainbows in the night,
Guiding through the darkest times.
God's promises are rainbows in the night.

'God's Promises Are Rainbows in the Night' from Odyssey, by David Meece
Thank You, Lord, for Your cleansing power and Your healing touch. When we
look back on our lives, we can see that each moment led us closer to You, and
to Your saving mercy and grace. The hope that we have comes from You alone,
and we know You are faithful to keep Your promises to us.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
