Your Open Word e-Devotional for February 15th

Published: Thu, 02/15/18

 Hello ,


I heard a story once about an alcoholic who was converted, and someone asked him how he could possibly believe all the nonsense in the Bible about miracles. "You don't believe that Jesus changed the water into wine do you?" the person scoffed.

The man replied; "I sure do, because in our house Jesus changed the whiskey into furniture."  I had to chuckle when I read that little story, because it so aptly portrays the reality that lives are dramatically changed after an encounter with Jesus Christ. Ezekiel 36:26 makes a pretty big claim.  In it, we're told that Jesus can give us new hearts if we will come to Him.  It's a powerful work, and one that we can't do all by ourselves.

Have a great day and God bless!
