³³ No, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my Instructions within them and engrave them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. (Jer. 31:33, CEB)

Israel was dealt with for ignoring God and acting in open rebellion. But once that rebellion was dealt with, God only wanted to draw his people back to him. The promise to come would be to put the law (instruction) on our hearts. We can know God. 

The law on our hearts creates the opportunity for us to truly walk in the Spirit. We can be taught by the Spirit day by day as the instruction of the Lord works in us. It’s not something we read on stone. It’s something we breathe day in and day out.

⁷ The Lord’s Instruction is perfect,
reviving one’s very being.
The Lord’s laws are faithful,
making naive people wise. (Psalm 19:7, CEB)

We need to know him. We MUST know him!

The cry of God’s heart is that we know him. Why are we so lazy in hearing that call and responding? The all-powerful God of all creation wants us to know him.

What is keeping you from this magnificent pursuit?
