THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL CIRCUMCISE YOUR HEARTS
Keywords 30:6
The LORD your God will
circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love
him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.
1. Turn to the LORD your God (1-10)
Although all those
curses came upon them, there is hope if they return to “the LORD your God.” God
remains ever faithful to his people, even when they are disobedient. He longs
to bless those who turn to him with all their heart and all their soul. He gathers
and circumcises our hearts so that we may love him with all our heart and soul.
Love precedes and enables obedience. Jesus said, “Anyone who loves me will obey
my teaching” (Jn 14:23).
2. Now choose life
(11-20)
Moses believed that
the secret to maintaining a love relationship with God was having the word on
our mouth and heart. Paul agrees, revealing this word as the gospel message of
salvation in Jesus Christ (Ro 10:8). Although the covenant is different, the
decision set before us today is the same: life and death, prosperity and
destruction. To choose life is to decide to love the LORD our God, listen to
his voice, and hold fast to him. He is our life.
Prayer Father, thank you for
circumcising my heart. Help me choose life by loving and obeying the gospel
message you have given me today.
One Word Love him with all your heart and soul
