No one can tell it anything;
It refuses all correction.
It does not trust in the Lord
Or draw near to its 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.
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..
