Circumcised Our Heart - My Devotional Reading

Circumcised Our Heart

Deuteronomy 10:16 16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. Our understanding about circumcise may different. For some people circumcised are the act of physical obedience in what God told to them. Circumcise in their perspective is a reminder of God’s promise to Abraham and we are the descendants of Abraham will inherit God’s promise today. But, truly God knows that human failed to see circumcised as the covenant by God that sealed in human physical bodies. This remind us of God’s part not human part. Verse 16 said that God look for human to circumcise in their heart and there is no contradiction between what had been said in the Deuteronomy (Old Testament) and Romans 2:28-29 (New Testament). Paul said: No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God." (Romans 2:28 - 29 NIV) So, God allow us know to understand that He seek our heart. He wants our heart be guard. Don’t closed your heart and be stubborn of His command to us. Let your heart be open to Him, confess your sins and let the Holy Spirit works to identify your sins today. Don’t be stiff necked of what He is going to reveal in your life. Pray: Holy Spirit please speak in our heart today. Forgive our sins of being stiff necked.
