But concerning Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people." Romans 10:21
What would God say of me? Would He say that He has been waiting all day long with His arms open-wide, but I am too stubborn to place myself in His hands?
Lord, I confess. At times I am disobedient and obstinate. I cling to worldly things in full understanding of the pain it might cause. Like the Pharisees who challenged Christ, I forget that true righteousness comes from You.
Won't the good I do negate the evil? Of course not! A little yeast causes the whole loaf to rise.
Father, help me to let go of anything that might keep me from You. Let me be stubborn in my faith. May You be glorified today.
