They have not been humbled....!

Jeremiah 44:9-10 NKJV

Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? They have not been humbled, to this day, nor have they feared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you and your fathers.’

† Shalom †......! Day #339. Do you know that the humblest act we can do is allowing God to rule and lead our lives? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for having such a prideful and stubborn heart where we refuse to accept advice, corrections and thinking that our ways and what we do is right. Forgive us Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Nowadays people do not accept rebuke, corrections and so on yet they think that their ways are right and they justify their actions. People like to talk big but there's no substance in it. They would say this familiar phrase " you think God only speaks to you is it?" The question is, when God speaks are you listening and doing according to what He has spoken to you? We even use the word of God to justify our ways though it's wrong and we do not want to admit it. They prefer soothing words rather than strong rebukes and corrections. In Psalms 81:12 NKJV God says that "So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels." Do you know even sometimes God is also fed up with our attitude and stubborness? How long more are we going to be so stubborn before the Lord. Not taking heed to His correction and rebukes, and thinking that our own ways are right? Even we dare to question and educate God.... A stubborn heart is a prideful heart. Beware,  it's a warning ⚠ to us, before we fall..... Don't take His grace and mercy for granted... It's up you and me to listen and do something about it.

Allowing God to correct us is the most humblest thing you can do, instead of advising God back and telling HIM how to do things. Allowing God to evaluate our life and our ways so that we can learn from our mistakes and wrong doing rather than reasoning with God when He rebukes. And when God has always evaluate us, it is scary to hear what God says "They have not been humbled, to this day, nor have they feared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you and your fathers." A stubborn heart is very hard to be humbled because the stubborn heart thinks that what they do is right and whatsoever corrections and advices others give is wrong. Yeah "they may say, put yourself in my shoes and you will know the heat." Well, the fact is not everyone acts or thinks like you and not everyone as stubborn as you. Be humble before God and before man.... You don't have to prove yourself right if you are right. Let God vindicate you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
