HARD HEART

Hardness of heart


Prov. 28:14 How blessed is the man who fears always, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.  
Prov. 29:1 A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.  

Hardness comes from sorrow over sin which is not dealt with. Therefore it passes into numbness and deadness.
        The fear of Jehovah is the proper fear and is to be kept perpetual. That person is always watchful of ways and means as well as issues. One should never bargain with consequences, never to act without His command. When that fear is absent, courage in this case is then merely hardness of heart, recklessness, foolishness.
