Foolish Forecasters

"He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" (Matthew 16:2,3).

How is it that they have not known?
How is it that they have not learned?
The signs of times are clearly shown,
Yet even now are not discerned!

For when the sky is red at night,
They know the weather will be fair,
And when it's red at morning light,
For stormy weather they prepare.

The sky is viewed upon its face,
And confidently they forecast.
But now God bids them view His grace,
And put their faith in Christ at last.

What more could our Savior do?
What else could the prophets say?
His signs declare that He is true;
Seek and trust Him while you may!
