"Imagine that one day you were looking at a weather forecast on your weather app, and the forecast reported that a severe storm was approaching your town. This forecast made you angry because you had already made plans to spend the day outdoors, so you threw your phone on the ground and stomped on it. You then proceeded with your plans despite the weather report.
What effect would destroying your phone have on the weather?
This example can be compared to King Jehoiakim’s response to Jeremiah’s prophecies."
This quote was from the Goob's seminary class the other day. I thought it was an insightful look at the effect our ranting and railing against what the prophets warn or what the church teaches has...it only makes us less prepared for what is, in reality, going to happen if we ignore the warnings to prepare, to change.
