HEART CIRCUMCISION
MEMORY VERSE: “And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live” (DEUTERONOMY 30:6).
Medically, circumcision – the surgical removal of the foreskin of the male private part – is done for hygienic purposes to lower the risk of urinary tract infections. This practice found its origin in the Bible.

Just as circumcision of the flesh symbolized outward identification with the Lord and the covenant (Genesis 17:10-23), so circumcision of the heart (Deuteronomy 10:6 and Jeremiah 4:4) speaks of internal identification with God, also called sanctification or purification of heart in theology.
Our hearts define who we are. What comes out of a man can make him unclean. From within men’s hearts comes evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly (Mark 7:20-23).
Therefore, to see an outward change, there must be an inward change. The benefits of heart circumcision include: being able to totally love God and man (friends and enemies alike), forgive hurts and pains, be blameless and holy in God’s presence, live a peaceful and joyful life in all circumstances and live eternally with God.
QUOTE: Our hearts define who we are.
CHALLENGE: Are you ready for a heart circumcision? Ask for it.
PRAYER: Circumcise my heart dear Lord
