“Therefore say: `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’”

Daily Bread
1) God's discipline aims to bring us back to Him.
God did not overlook the leaders who were misleading the people. Instead, God stepped in to judge these corrupt leaders and bring His people back to Him. God’s discipline, although severe, always comes with the purpose of restoration and renewal. This discipline is not to destroy, but to correct and guide His people back to a right relationship with Him. When you face challenges or corrections, whether in your personal life or academic studies, consider them as opportunities for growth. God uses these moments to purify your faith and bring You closer to Him.

2) The promise of a new heart.
God’s promise to give His people a new heart and a new spirit shows how committed He is to changing our lives. He doesn’t just fix things; He makes everything new, so His people can truly worship Him and follow His ways. In your daily life, seek God with all your heart, asking Him to change your heart and renew your spirit. Involve yourself in activities that help you grow spiritually. This includes reading the Bible regularly, praying, and spending time with other believers who support your faith. Trust in God’s divine power to transform you and use you for His plan to save many more lives.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I recognize Your fair judgments and Your kind restoration. Shape my heart to be pure and strong in Your ways. Thank You for the promise of a new heart and a new spirit. Guide me with Your truth and keep me close to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

One Word: God transforms hearts!
