I Will Put My Laws Into Their Mind

Heb 8:10

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

KJV

 
 

Has God put His laws into your mind? God has promised to do this, but how? There are several ways that God does this:

  1. He gives us the Holy Spirit to indwell us and teach us the right way.
  2. As we study the Bible it becomes part of our way of life.
  3. As we pray, we speak to God and He speaks to us.
  4. He has given every person a conscience that will tell them what is right and wrong.
  5. As we follow God to the best of our ability, He will reveal more of His will to us.

    So, do I have my mind open to God's laws? Do you? What can we do to be open to learning more of what God has for us? First, we should be open to learn new things as we read the Bible. Also, as we read, we need to be applying what we learn to our own lives. We should be willing to make changes in our lives as we learn new things from the Bible.

     
     

    Lord, please write Your laws on my heart. Help me to be open to what You want to teach me. Help me to have a teachable spirit. Help me to have my entire life surrendered to Your will no matter what that may be. Give me wisdom and strength to face the challenges of life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
