Pride And Rebellionनमुना

I don't willingly not listen to the Holy Spirit...I mean, I do, but not in a bad way. I don't raise my fist, stomp my feet and yell like a grounded pre-adolescent teen arguing to go out with her friends. What I do, however, is put on my 'know-it-all' headphones and ignore the direction in which the Spirit of God is leading me, especially if it's a place that I don't want to go.

I do this in my marriage, my business and other areas that I'm not ready to submit to the Word and will of God. Who wants to 'submit to one another' when your husband wants to take a job across the country away from family and friends. Or submit to a plan of healthy eating and exercise, especially during the holidays. But scripture says that this constant rebellious attitude is like witchcraft—yes, witchcraft and sorcery and our stubbornness is as bad as idolatry. We have set up ourselves, our wills, and our emotions against God. 

I don't want to be God's enemy. I want to be his daughter. I want my life to sing and my obedience to be worship. I'm going to submit...will you?
