Daily Devotional: The glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple & stopped above the cherubim. (Ezekiel 10:18). Prayer: Father, I thank you for Jesus.

The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles.
