For the Lord said to Moses, "Say to the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you." Exodus 33:5 NKJV.
Like our ancestors the Israelites, to whom by spiritual grafting we are related, we tend to be stubborn in our ways. We only want we want instead of what God wants for us. Even when we want God's will for us, we are too impatient to experience the reality of it. At what point in our Christian walk, do we come to the realization that our way is the wrong way? When do we begin to understand that unless God's name is on it, it didn't come from Him?
