The Hope of God’s Rebuke
“He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”
Proverbs 29:1

Ponder This
God has called me to proclaim that He loves you with an infinite love. He has spoken to you over and over again, and He’s speaking to you today. But God says, “If you continue to harden your neck, you’ll be destroyed.” And when you are, there’ll be no second chance. It will be without remedy, without hope. I looked this verse up in several different translations, and they all mean the same thing: no hope, without a second chance, without a remedy, without a cure.
But why would God rebuke you? Because He loves you so much, and He wants to save you today. You may ask, “Pastor Rogers, would Jesus save me today?” Yes. “Pastor Rogers, are you sure?” Yes, I’m sure, if you’ll call upon Him.” You say, “What if I’ve crossed the deadline?” If you call upon Him, you haven’t.
- How might you use the message of today’s devotion to encourage someone in the truth?
- How does God’s rebuke always give us hope? Why is it worse to not have His rebuke?
Practice This
Consider where God is rebuking you currently. Respond to Him in obedience as He is prompting you.
