Jeremiah 7:25-26 (ESV)
From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.
If you want the formula for disaster, there it is. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. Obedience to God introduces His blessings. Disobedience brings disaster. It is that simple. Note what Solomon said about this regarding leadership vs followership:
Those who do not support God‘s leaders will eventually fall by God‘s disasters:
Proverbs 24:21-22 (ESV)
My son, fear the LORD and the king,
and do not join with those who do otherwise,
for disaster will arise suddenly from them,
and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
Be careful who surrounds you. How they treat a leader may end up how you are also treated. Be careful how you respond to God’s leadership in your life. He will send prophets and leaders to us to lead us. If we reject them, disaster is soon to follow.
