"Whom shall I teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk.... To whom He said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the Word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little, that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken" (Isaiah 28:9-13).
Precept on precept and line upon line,
Not too much, please; just a little is fine.
Doctrine that challenges? Thanks, I'll decline.
I'd rather have precept and line upon line.
But whom shall the Lord instruct in His way?
And whom shall He send forth and teach what to say?
Who will be weaned from their milk and obey?
Who will attend to His flocks gone astray?
Beware lest you fall by procrastination;
Infancy cultivates fruitless frustration.
This is the day to choose consecration,
Growing in grace and in truth's graduation.
