Administering Admonition

"Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come... But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able" (1 Corinthians 10:10-13).

Things that happened which are written
When God's people wandered,
As when they by God were smitten,
Surely should be pondered.

For these are written to admonish,
Providing us instruction,
That we may not be astonished
With their same destruction.

Though from judgment we're exempted,
Our sin has consequence.
But God is faithful when we're tempted,
And He is our Defense.
