This morning at breakfast I read Ezekiel 11:19-20 where God says, "And I shall give them one heart, and shall put a new spirit within them. And I shall take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God." For some reason the whole idea of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" came to mind...guess it had to do with the heart of stone stuff. I guess you could say He "covers" the stone with the covenant written on the paper of the Old & New Testaments, so to speak, when he converts us in Christ through the Spirit.
The certificate (paper) of divorce talked about in various prophets that He gave Israel for their sinful behavior was cut to bits when He restored them in His perfect time at various ages and will be once-for-all at the End of All Things. Oh, and what does a Vine Dresser (John 15) use to snip the dead wood (that could be processed for pulp to make paper!)? ...Hand held pruning shears which are nothing more than glorified scissors!
Now, I'm probably gonna have to stretch on Rock Beats Scissors...so like what's new?!! Well, here's Psalm 2:1-4 (judge for yourselves): "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!' He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them." And how do the heathen "tear cords?"...with scissors and other sharp implements! ;p Verse 9 gives the picture of The Rock of Ages beating the Scissors of Sin...'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'"
Iron shatters clay...Rock beats scissors...got your heart of stone removed, your certificate of debt canceled, and your sword of the Spirit, the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17) sharpened?
