YOKES OF WOOD OR YOKES OF IRON?

If we are going through difficult times as a result of our rebellion towards God should we not be sober,ponder over our transgression,repent and give Him the offering that He requires. If there are no breakthroughs,barreness and dryness in our lives as a result of our rebellion ought we not to humble ourselves and seek God with our whole hearts? Ought we not to put ourselves under His yokes and learn of His righteous judgments instead of looking for escape routes? When God calls one a son, He also makes His judgments clear to him. He doesn't pamper spoilt children. He puts them at the right place.

If we are in a haste to escape from His chastening are we not making for ourselves yokes of iron instead of yokes of wood? Are we not edging closer to destruction. Many of God's people are crying for breakthroughs. Many are crying for blessings but they are not seeking it His way. Many want to escape their tribulations but are not willing to bear a lasting fruit.

Jeremiah 28:13-14

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says the LORD: You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron. For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. I have given him the beasts of the field also.
