It is one thing to do as we are told, to grin and to bear it even though we don’t want to have to do it, but it is quite another to be willing and eager to do the things we are supposed to be doing, without regretting what we might have wanted to do. As a good friend of mine puts it, “We need to replace the ‘Must I?’ with ‘May I?’’’ And yes, it is possible to change the desires of our hearts.

Paul gave the Corinthians instructions about how to do it. He said, “Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they [Israel in the wilderness] did.” (1 Corinthians 10 v 6).

Let’s fill our minds with the examples we read in the word of God so that our hearts can be changed to be responsive and willing to serve the Lord our God.

May we seek God in all our ways this week.
