Dear Young Christian:

Here is a powerful verse to consider this week:

“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy” (Proverbs 29:1).

Wow! Do you refuse to change your ways in spite of repeated warnings? Look out! The Lord may have to speak very strongly. Are you unsaved? Then accept Jesus right now! As a believer, is your life and walk displeasing to Him? Turn around — before He speaks loudly and allows something very serious in your life — maybe even taking you home to Heaven so that you don’t dishonor Him further. The Lord prefers to speak softly, but when we don’t listen, He has to speak louder and with more serious consequences. Just like parents with a stubborn and wayward child, so the Lord loves us too much to let us go our own way.

This is the beginning of a new week — if you have been stubborn and rebellious, confess and forsake it, and make today a new beginning in your life.

Your Christian Friend,
