You Can’t Legislate A Heart…..

One reason we have the Bible, the OT, is to witness to us about the sinful nature of man. Does this sound like America today? Are the hearts of many hardened? Do many desire and trust God? When you turn away from the God of the Bible, your heart hardens spiritually. The result of that is detrimental not only to you, but to all those around you. The answer to America’s problem is not found in the government legislating the issues. The only solution to America’s problem is a heart transformation. And there’s only one Person capable of that, the Great Physician, God Himself. The heart of the problem is the heart itself. You can’t legislate a heart, can you?

 8 Now go and write down these words.Write them in a book.They will stand until the end of time as a witness9 that these people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.10 They tell the seers,“Stop seeing visions!”They tell the prophets,“Don’t tell us what is right.Tell us nice things.Tell us lies.11 Forget all this gloom.Get off your narrow path.Stop telling us about your‘Holy One of Israel.’ ” Isaiah 30:8-11

15 This is what the Sovereign Lord,the Holy One of Israel, says:“Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved.In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. Isaiah 30:15

18 So the Lord must wait for you to come to Himso He can show you His love and compassion.For the Lord is a faithful God.Blessed are those who wait for His help. 19 O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem,you will weep no more.He will be gracious if you ask for help.He will surely respond to the sound of your cries. Isaiah 30:18-19
