Harden not your heart

Zephaniah 3:2 - She listens to no voice, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God.

Do you know people who refuse to listen when someone disagrees with their opinions? Their root problem is pride--inflated self-esteem. God's people had become so proud that they would not even listen to God's voice. Do you find it difficult to listen to the spiritual counsel of others or God's Words from the Bible? Don't let pride make you unable or unwilling to let God work in your life. You will be more willing to listen when you consider how weak and sinful you really are compared to God.

It is good to hear to all things from mature / elder persons, but it is not necessary to listen to all. They could be the angel (messenger) God used to speak to you. You should let the Lord guide it into your system all that which is helpful to you and all that which will build you.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Heavenly Father, we praise You and thank You again for Your Word to us. May we walk in humility and accept correction and discipline. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others.
