HE REFUSED TO HUMBLE HIMSELF
What would be said about us if our acquaintances and relatives wrote our biography right now? What would your spouse or children say about you if they were on a reality show?
We read here some characteristics of King Zedekiah: He was young, stubborn, tough; He had problems of rebellion in relation to authority, he rebelled against a king, against a prophet and against God. He didn’t want to humiliate himself before Him, he ignored the prophets who spoke to him on behalf of God, he broke his promises to God, etc. Apparently he was a very rebellious young man and lacking in wisdom.
Lord, help me not to be stubborn like King Zedekiah, help me to see my blind spots, search my heart, examine my thoughts, and guide me to be a humble, respectful person, who knows how to listen to the wise advice of the men and women of God. and who knows how to humble himself before you.
Think about it:
What do you think your family would say about you if they asked how you are?
Do you find it difficult to humble yourself before God or obey your authorities?
Do you listen and apply the wise advice of other people or ignore it?
