GOD KNOWS

Today's reading: Isaiah 45-50

"I know how stubborn and obstinate you are. Your necks are unbending as iron. You are as hardheaded as bronze." Isaiah 48:4 NLT

Please, before you immediately hit the forward button and refer this verse to someone you know to be stubborn, hardheaded, unmoving and down right set in their ways...read it again for yourself.

Think of the times you have decided to do things your own way, instead of how the Lord asked you to.

Think of the days when you distanced yourself from the Lord because you knew what He was asking of you.

Think of the moments when you, without saying it out loud, decided you knew better than the Lord.

It's during those times, having those specific moments, stinking with those attitudes, that the Lord loved you still.

He knew your tendencies--and loved you!

He knew your insubordination--and loved you!

He knew your inadequacies, your character flaws and your rough edges--and loved you!

He knows us, and still loves us!

Praise God!
