Daily Devotional: Then speak to them: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart & puts a wicked stumbling block before his face & then goes to a prophet: I will answer him myself in keeping with his great idolatry. (Ezekiel 14:4). Prayer: Father, I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for answering my prayers & for accepting my fastings. Thank you for giving us a warning on setting up idols in our lives.

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.
