"They believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation, though He had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, and had rained down manna upon them to eat.... For all this they sinned still, and believed not for His wondrous works; therefore their days did He consume in vanity, and their years in trouble" (Psalm 78:22-33). "Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken of in the prophets: Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you" (Acts 13:40,41).
There is an unbelief bizarre,
Unmoved though facts are found;
It matters not how clear they are,
Or that their truth is sound.
That unbelief was widely spread
Through forty years of shame
When Israel, with manna fed,
Forgot from Whom it came!
How sadly was this evident
When Jesus rose again,
Yet many still would not repent
And trust the Savior then.
How strange indeed is unbelief
In those who stop their ears
And close their eyes to God's relief,
While yet His judgment nears!
Beware, all you who yet despise
The truth at such a cost!
The devil only blinds the eyes
Of those who yet are lost.
Beware, I say! Behold, believe,
Or perish evermore!
Your one escape is to receive
The Savior at your door!
