Yesterday we began to understand the good news of the Law. While the Law from our point of view looks restrictive and barbaric, from their point of view was actually liberating. Today we’re going to see that the good news does not end there.
Read Jeremiah 31:31-34 and journal what this means to you
You see Israel has a problem, no matter how hard they try they cannot keep the standard of God’s Law. They just keep falling into sin; they keep getting lead away by the temptations of their day. But God does not give up on them. Instead He makes a promise with his people that He is going to do something new, in fact it won’t be like anything they’ve ever seen.
How many times have you read the Old Testament and say to yourself why can’t I experience God like they did? Why can’t God just take me by the hand and show me what He wants me to do? But God has given us something better, because we will know Him. God says He will put His law on our minds, and His Spirit inside us. We don’t have to wait for the Heavens to part and an angelic messenger to come down and speak with us.
Today pray that you would recognize the direction of God in your life
