Despising Deception

"O how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.... Through Thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:97,104). "They mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose... till there was no remedy (2 Chronicles 36:16).

Something happens to our view
When understanding is obtained:
We will love more what is true,
And falsehood shall be more disdained.

Understanding will embrace
The truth of God that makes us free,
Yet scorners mock amazing grace,
Until there is no remedy.

Throughout the precepts of our God,
We have the truth that lights our path;
We therefore hate the way that's trod
By souls deceived who march to wrath.

Some people love the "tolerance"
Which says that all ways are the same,
But falsehood has its consequence
That leads the soul to endless shame.

Lord, we thank You that today
We have the truth we love to tell:
Christ Jesus is the only Way
That saves us from eternal hell!
