Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted...!

Isaiah 46:5, 12-13 NKJV

“To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal And compare Me, that we should be alike? “Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, Who are far from righteousness: I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off; My salvation shall not linger. And I will place salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory.

† Shalom †......! Day #311. Do you know that there is no god like our God? Let's pray. Father,  thank You for making known Your salvation to us. There's none like You and no one shall ever replace You for You are great and You do miracle so great. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We serve a God who is great and He does miracles so great and there is no one like Him. He is one mighty God. There's no one who can be compared to our one true living God! Although in all His awesomeness, He is still near to us like a Father who is near to the child that calls upon His name. He upholds us in His hands and He cares for us. God rebukes and disciplines those whom He love.

God is saying to us today, "Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, Who are far from righteousness: I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off; My salvation shall not linger. And I will place salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory." When we  walk away from God's righteousness, we will become so vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy and we will give ourselves to the lies of the devil. Our lives will be as same as the people who do not know God. Now, that's why God is rebuking this stubborn-hearted generation who are far from His righteousness that He will bring His righteousness near to us, to those who wanting to be restored, renewed, revived in His presence.  Do not be stubborn-hearted. Likewise the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. The youngest son wanted half of his father's wealth and the father graciously gave it to him. But this son, he is unexperienced, stubborn-hearted, and he went off with all he had received from the father and spent all he had, until don't even have a penny for him to buy food and eat. He ate the pigs food. Then later he regretted of what he has done, and he returned to his father's house and his father did not chased him away but gladly received him for once his son was lost but now he is found. The value that we can learn from this parable do not be stubborn-hearted, do not do anything that will make regret later. Many of us makes a decision when you are emotionally unstable. Every decision made when you are angry, later you will eat its fruits. Yet, God still graciously receive you when you repent wholeheartedly.

Many of us are so stubborn and most of the time God had to use a sledgehammer to break the stone of stubbornness in us so that He can create a new us again. When you're broken before God, you are beautiful in His eyes. Gbu....

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
