Read this proverbs this morning...... somehow, it speaks right into my heart, that, we need to be thankful that He always corrects us through our life...point to us our weaknesses that we need to overcome.
PRIDE!Proverbs1: 5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
22 “
How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And
fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke;Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you disdained all my counsel,And would have none of my rebuke,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “ Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
30 They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.
31
Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
