Proverbs 1:25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,
God calls us forward to be Christians, to be His flock, to be Children of God; we have the choice as to whether we listen to Him or we reject Him!
Far too often people simply ignore Christ and His teachings because it makes life a little simpler to handle. It is not the easy times in our lives which are going to shape us, but what we do in the tough times!
God will try and steer us in the right direction when we go off track. We probably will not like it because it means change in our lives; but He is trying to do a good thing!
