I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.
— Psalm 40:8 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Too many of us are paranoid about the word law and find it hard to hear a scripture like this. But we must recognize that the goal of the New Covenant of grace and the gift of the Spirit is that God's law is written on our hearts and demonstrated in our lives. God is not concerned that it be written on tablets of stone. Jeremiah prophesied of such a day when the focus of God's people would be their desire to do God's will -- a passion to love the things our Father loves and despise the things he despises.-Hearlight
