Besides the sweet “Email from God” Mr. and Mrs. Smith gave us today, they also told us a great story of a sweet, old lady that blessed them when Mr. Smith was in the hospital.
In their story, this verse, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekial 36:26), was in a daily devotional the lady had given them. That part isn’t a huge deal, except that it was the printed on the exact same date as Mr. Smith surgery. And of course, to make it even “more God”, his surgery wasn’t even originally scheduled on that day.
I love the Bible for reasons like this! Everything is in it! Everything! I say this to John often, and he now says to me before I can say it, “I know. It’s in the Bible.”
What’s even greater and even hysterical about this verse is the New Living Translation. “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart” (Ezekial 36:26). Remember what I said earlier about John? Is this not hilarious and perfect? So there is hope! No more stubborn heart! I can’t wait!
