Today’s Scripture…
Proverbs 28:12-14
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.
13 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
Thoughts…
There are lots of ways to harden your heart. Usually, it doesn’t just happen. It takes time. You can get angry at someone and eventually get over it. You may even say something careless about never forgiving that person. However, truth be told, if they came back and apologized you would most likely forgive them.
The fact that you get angry in the first place means your heart has not hardened. If you continue to have feelings when that person’s name is even mentioned means your heart is not hardened, even if that feeling is total disgust. Feelings mean you still care.
It is when you no longer care that your heart is hardened. When you give up, close the door and walk away, you have hardened your heart. When that person is God you have hardened your heart to, there is no more hope. Your heart is no longer even willing to be willing to listen or hear His voice calling. I pray that you never reach this spot with anyone in your life. I pray that you will always be willing to be willing to forgive. Most of all I pray you are willing to be willing to listen for God’s voice.
