Are You Stubborn?

You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That's what your ancestors did, and so do you! Acts 7:51 NLT

 

People often follow in the footsteps of their parents. Did your parents reject God, including the Holy Spirit…and by their example taught you to do the same? Or have you had some other model or mentor in your life that has shown you another path to take in life…the path that has led you to the truth of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life? Look at your life…are you “stiff-necked” or stubborn? We can be stubborn about a lot of things. What are you stubborn about? You may insist on your way about what you eat, where you eat, with whom you share your meals, what you wear, the type of car you drive or where you go on your vacation. We are warned against being stubborn. But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2:5 NLT. Are you so stubborn that you think that God’s judgement won’t be on you? Think again.

 

Prayer ~ Lord God, show us how to be obedient to You as we apply Your Word to our lives.
