But we must recognize that the goal of >the New Covenant of grace and Spirit is that God's law is written on >our hearts, not on tablets of stone. Jeremiah prophesied of such a >day. The focus, desiring to do God's will -- a passion to love the >things our Father loves and despise the things he despises. > >MY PRAYER... >Abba Father, I do want to do your will. I want to please you, >glorify you, and lead others to you. Give me spiritual discernment >to know your will and spiritual courage to do it today. I want your >character and righteousness to inform my heart when I am tempted not >to live for you. Gently humble me when I am wrong or have lost my >way. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/kijlksk_ymdwqz.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/emnettr_ymdwqz.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
