Proverbs 29

A stiff neck is one that refuses to move, even when there is cause for it.  This is how the sages described a person who was rebuked many times for engaging in destructive behavior, yet never changed.  Perhaps some of your friends have been pointing out a need in your own life for a change.  Perhaps you are hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit prompting you to do so.  Listen!  Turn before it is too late.  A neck broken beyond healing is death.

LORD, forgive us for our stubbornness.  Help us o change.
