Hearts of Fire, Not Your Prayers of Ice

I have chosen the Proverb that speaks to me out of today'  Please journal that which the Lord is revealing to you!   REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD LOVES (15:8–9)

s reading.

⁸ The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked,
    but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

⁹ The Lord detests the way of the wicked,
    but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

For today,  I am reminded that the Lord wants to create in us a clean heart.  I love Keith Green’s song, 

“To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice”….

To obey is better than sacrifice
I don't need your money
I want your life
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon
But you act like I'll never return

Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet
How you thrive on milk, but reject my meat
And I can't help weeping of how it will be
If you keep on ignoring my words
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
But your flesh is something I just can't feed

To obey is better than sacrifice
I want more than Sunday and Wednesday nights
Cause if you can't come to me every day
Then don't bother coming at all

To obey is better than sacrifice
I want hearts of fire
Not your prayers of ice
And I'm coming quickly
To give back to you
According to what you have done
According to what you have done
According to what you have done

Lord, help us to be faithful to you in our hearts and with our time. Help us to live up to the highest expectations that You have laid out for our lives before there was even time.  We pray that we would offer you hearts of fire according to your power and passion in our lives.
