A NEW HEART
Ezekiel 11:17, 19-21 foretells of Israel and Judah receiving from God a new heart—a spiritual heart that will enable them to keep His commandments and statutes. Throughout its history, the essential difficulty in Israel's relationship with God has been one of the heart. God exclaims, "Oh, that they [Israel] had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!" (Deuteronomy 5:29).
In Hebrews 3:10, God again identifies this problem: "Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways'" .
The heart or spirit of a man is the center of his thought, reason, and motivation. Because of human nature, the natural—unconverted—heart is "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9).
It has an innate, powerful pull toward the self, always making evaluations based on what it perceives as good for the individual regardless of the effect on others.
Humanity has had approximately 6,000 years of such self-centered and destructive living, proving that man is simply unable to govern himself for very long.
He needs direction and leadership from another—divine—source.

“…God will help her at break of day.” Psalm 46:5 NIV Comfort in troubled times When your world is suddenly turned upside down, remember, God’s plans for your life haven’t been cancelled! When you feel trapped with no way out, here are some things to remember:1) Look for the river. ‘There is a river whose streams make glad…’ (Psalm 46:4 NIV). In Old Testament symbolism, rivers represent God’s supply for your every need. When every human source of supply seems to have dried up, don’t fear, look for the river. 2) Look for the city. God has planted His ‘…city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells’ (Psalm 46:4 NIV), right in the middle of your circumstances. God’s city, the symbol of His presence and power, guarantees He’s still in control and that He will restore peace and order to your troubled world. 3) Look for the signs of God’s presence. ‘God will help [you] at break of day’ (Psalm 46:5 NIV). Daybreak, a symbol of new beginnings, gives you confidence that beyond this time of trouble and testing, a new day is at hand. ‘Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning’ (Lamentations 3:23 NLT). 4) ‘Come…see the works of the Lord…’ (Psalm 46:8 NIV). Reviewing the record of His mighty acts builds your faith and reminds you that He is the ‘…same yesterday and today and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8 NIV). If He took care of you then, He will take care of you now. 5) Look to God and be at peace. Based on the tested and proven foundation of His power and faithfulness, you can live by the Scripture, ‘Be still, and know that I am God…’ (Psalm 46:10 NIV).

PAUL AND WISDOM
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
(16) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (18) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
