It’s sad that human beings have to go through hardships and struggles to strip away the rebellious pride in order to see God for Who He is. Those that never allow their pride to take a back seat experience loads of grief and unrelieved pain. They have no hope, no remedy. God is patient with us, He quietly watches us, waiting for the sting of sin to burn away our prideful ways. In the end there are only two outcomes: those that bow a knee in gratitude, and those that bow a knee in spite. Running towards or away from the only One that can save you is determined in how you respond to adversity. You can either go through hardship and disappointment with God, or go through it without Him. I choose the former, how about you?
10 Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.So you may plant the finest grapevine and import the most expensive seedlings.11 They may sprout on the day you set them out;yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,but you will never pick any grapes from them.Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.
Isaiah 17:10-11
4 For the Lord has told me this:“I will watch quietly from My dwelling place–as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day,or as the morning dew forms during the harvest.”
Isaiah 18:4
