Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.         –Proverbs 28:14 (NLT)     

STUBBORNNESS LEADS TO TROUBLE

A poem by ILMA

Being stubborn is a manifestation of pride

It brings too much conflict in life

The obstinate find it hard to agree

They want to take all the control and be free.

Blessed are those who fear the Lord

They cling on God’s word as their sword

They enjoy liberty that comes from righteousness

They are protected from evil all forms of wickedness.

I have been stubborn for almost three decades of my life and I can attest to what the bible says about heading for serious trouble when one is obstinate. I was fearless and did everything to satisfy my flesh. I was obsessed with human knowledge and used it to achieve goals in life. I didn’t consult God with my plans. I thought I know it all.  Despite my rebellion, he didn’t give up on me. He watched over me as I rebelled and disobeyed him.  I was a very arrogant, prideful and judgmental person. God dealt with me very patiently and he still wants me back despite all. He gave me tough love until I realized my foolishness brought much trouble and held me prisoner to sin.  Then God freed me when I finally obeyed him.

PRAYER

Lord, free me from pride and rebellion.

REFLECTION

Why is obedience a prerequisite to freedom and peace?

  4. Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
