The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” (1 Kings 22:8)
One of the greatest dangers to your spiritual growth is to despise the verses which don’t prop up your preconceived notions. A mind that seeks only the Scripture comfortable to dwell on will never be pushed to think or act differently. God’s Word should speak evil of you at times, and you should hear it. Don’t hate the text for its honesty.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
