Episode notes

What can the catastrophic failures of history and scripture teach us about stubbornness and disobedience? We'll reveal how ignoring prophetic warnings led to devastating consequences for the Israelites, drawing compelling parallels to the stern admonitions found in Deuteronomy 28. 

We recount Jerusalem's rebellion and stubbornness against God's commands, a poignant reminder of the cost of defiance. Amidst this narrative, we distinguish between destructive and virtuous forms of stubbornness and discuss the importance of caution in judging others' suffering. By examining the fulfillment of God’s long-stated intentions, we underscore the unwavering faithfulness of divine judgment and the consequences of ignoring it.

Still, there is contentment in waiting. The metaphor of the yoke illustrates how Jesus guides and teaches us through life's challenges. Embrace the assurance that God’s compassion and faithfulness are renewed every morning, and find inspiration in the hope that, through enduring discipline and trust, ultimate growth and renewal await.
