Wisdom Withheld

"If thou wilt receive My words... and apply thine heart to understanding... Then shalt thou understand.... For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:1-6). "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45).

There is a wisdom God would give,
Yet will regretfully withhold
From those who will not choose to live
As the Word of God has told.

But those who will receive His Word,
Apply their hearts to His commanding,
And do the things that they have heard,
God will grant them understanding.

Thus the prophets have foretold
That all His people shall be taught,
But hardened hearts, remaining cold,
Shall not discern what God has wrought.
