Heart Vision

"But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day," says the Lord. "I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, 'You should know the Lord.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already," says the Lord. "And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins."


- Jeremiah 31:33-34

Psalm 112



1 Praise the Lord!
   How joyful are those who fear the Lord
      and delight in obeying his commands.
 2 Their children will be successful everywhere;
      an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
 3 They themselves will be wealthy,
      and their good deeds will last forever.
 4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
      They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
 5 Good comes to those who lend money generously
      and conduct their business fairly.
 6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.
      Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
 7 They do not fear bad news;
      they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
 8 They are confident and fearless
      and can face their foes triumphantly.
 9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.
      Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
      They will have influence and honor.
 10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
      They will grind their teeth in anger;
      they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
