Why do you think that using the mind is always a pride thing?

Reposting a smaller section for thought: chapter 2, God of the Possible “I Thought You’d Return” Several other examples of the Lord confronting the unexpected are found in Jeremiah. Beholding Israel’s remarkable obstinacy, the Lord says, “I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me...
