Sudden Destruction

Proverbs 29:1
​He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck,
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Don't do it! Don't do it! Words they have told to us over and over. Trust Jesus as your Savior. Repent for Jesus is coming. These are also words that have been spoken to us over and over. What happens when we don't listen?

Look at the scripture... "He that being often reproved... continues to hardeneth his neck".  When we continually choose to reject the truth of Christ we become harder and harder. Our hearts become so calloused that we no longer hear Him. Farther and farther away we find ourselves from hearing Him. God warns us and warns us of our ways. He says that our sins will lead to death and destruction forever and we blow it off by saying we have all the time in the world but then what happens? "Shall suddenly be destroyed..." is what the scripture says. We may beat the odds today, tomorrow and maybe for years but soon and suddenly destruction could over take us. Satan could come upon us with destruction at any time. He is like a roaring lion seeking to devour us.

Everyday people tempt the odds. They roll the dice and say, "Whew! That was close". I had a friend who would come to school and tell how fast he would take a certain curve where we lived. Each day he would increase the speed and let us all know. Until one afternoon after school. He pushed the limits until he couldn't control it anymore and lost his life. Look at the last part of the scripture. "That without remedy..." As much as they tried, no one could bring him back and put him into the arms of his mother.

Let me say this today... Listen to Christ calling you now. If you continue to walk away or think you will have more time, sudden destruction could come upon you any minute and that would be without remedy. There is no second chance beyond the grave. There is no redo, or do over. Stop being stiff necked and surrender your life to Jesus now. Oh what a remedy is found in the blood of Christ.
