A few weeks ago, I found myself confronted with someone's opinion about this blog. This reader said: "Your blog is self centered and irrelevant."
Wow, this reader really missed the point completely. But I do understand.
I found the phrase stiff necked 9 times in the Bible. Mostly in the Old Testament. Unrealistic was one synonym, pigheaded another.
I wonder how many times people read the Bible thinking it is irrelevant? It proves that without the understanding of the Holy Spirit, we don't really understand it. The Holy Spirit is the power of God to help us understand what God is saying to the church. And what He is saying to 'us' personally.
We have to be surrendered to God every day, not just that one time when we received Christ as Lord and Savior in order to receive the benefit of the Holy Spirit.
So my prayer today: Lord, never let me (us) be a stiff necked people EVER! Lead me (us) by Your Holy Spirit into understanding and Your wisdom.
Until next time, may the peace of God surround you.
