"The mind that is earthly finds no pleasure in contemplating the word of God; but for the mind renewed by the Holy Spirit, divine beauty and celestial light shine from the sacred page. That which to the earthly mind was a desolate wilderness, to the spiritual mind becomes a land of living streams. 8T 319.5"
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
Both passages describe a transformation of the heart/mind through the Holy Spirit, leading to a new appreciation for spiritual things. EGW contrasts the earthly mind with the renewed mind, while Ezekiel speaks of replacing a 'stony heart' with a 'heart of flesh.'
"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
Both passages highlight the need for spiritual enlightenment to understand God's word. EGW speaks of 'divine beauty and celestial light' shining from the sacred page for the renewed mind, while Psalm 119:18 asks God to 'open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.'
