“Therefore Adonai will cut off Israel’s head and tail, [tall] palm frond and [lowly] reed in a single day. The old and the honored are the head, while prophets teaching lies are the tail. For those leading this people lead them astray, and those led by them are destroyed.”
Isaiah 9:13-15 CJB 14-16 in other translations
This was happening in Israel 2500 years ago, where God allowed the leaders of the nation to just lead without the true instruction of God! What happened to Israel? They went into seventy years of captivity! We need to be careful of the same as we have the same type of leaders today!
“Before I was humbled, I used to go astray; but now I observe Your word.”
Psalm 119:67 CJB
Ask yourself how long will we continue in disobedience either personally or corporately before God allows captivity or humbling? The best thing we can do is call on Adonai and ask Him if there is anything that needs to be changed!
“Create in me a clean heart, God; renew in me a resolute spirit.”
Psalm 51:12 CJB verse 10 in other translations.
What a great prayer for us to have is to have a clean heart and a resolute spirit! The meaning of resolute is pretty amazing (purposeful, determined and unwavering)! Is this our spirit and heart? If not we can have it by simply calling on Adonai to create in us a clean and renewed spirit!
Have a blessed day!
