IT'S ALL ABOUT "ME"

What happens when we decide to ignore or reject "wise"(Godly) council? When we decide I have to do things "my way" in order to find true happiness, how does that thing turn out? I think Proverbs 1:24-31 sums it up quite nicely.



24 "I called you so often, but you didn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
25 You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you
27 when calamity overcomes you like a storm, when you are engulfed by trouble, and when anguish and distress overwhelm you.
28 "I will not answer when they cry for help. Even though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. 30 They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them.
31 That is why they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way. They must experience the full terror of the path "they" have chosen.

(It's just not worth it.)
