Zechariah 7:12
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.
Today's Thought: God will get our hearts by gentle kindness or by his loving harsh rebuke.
The diamond is considered the hardest natural material in the world (not until wurtzite boron nitride's superior strength is totally known). Diamond cutting is a specialization by itself as cutting nature's hardest material and polishing into the gem it should be takes knowledge, precision and the exactness of everything to be done.
But hearts of men are harder than the hardest natural material of the world. It is the seat of every good and evil thoughts that come into the mind of a person. As often said, the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. Men decide not to hear the word of God, not that they cannot heart the sounds of it, but they determine not to hearken unto the word of God.
Let us remember that God reins and searches hearts of men. The Creator of everything, including you and me, can do whatever pleases Him to get you and me back to Him. While God is the still small voice of the beautiful day, He is also the God who sends gentle thunders to get our attention.
