"I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.... For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Jeremiah 31:33-34
Interesting. We can read. We can study. But it's God who puts the law in our mind and writes it on our hearts. I believe this is more than poetry. God does so much for us. So what do we have if we're just reading and studying without God doing His work? Knowledge but not wisdom? Scholarship not relationship? Works not grace? Our thoughts not His? I like this idea of God planting and writing within us. It's exciting. He gives the meaning. It's not a puzzle or mystery for us to discover or figure out. It, like most of the things we receive from God, is an unmerited gift.
Lord knows.
