Scripture
Hebrews 10:16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
Observation
The new covenant established by the blood of Jesus is not written on stone tablets, but on our hearts. God is not looking for people who will merely follow a list of rules, but rather those who will walk by faith in relationship with Him.
Application
I can’t reduce my walk with God to merely a list of “do’s” and “don’ts”. Rule books lead to loopholes. Instead of walking as far as I can away from God and looking for every available loophole, God desires for me to walk as close in relationship to Him as I can. This new covenant is a covenant of love, not legislation.
Prayer
God, thank you for your covenant of love which you have written on my heart! Help me to walk closer each day in relationship to you, instead of trying to see how far I can stray. Thank you for your mercy, your grace, your love, and your power!
