"Our soul is exceedingly filled... with the contempt of the proud" (Psalm 123:4). "Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death... He that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:4,30). "The proud men... obeyed not the voice of the LORD" (Jeremiah 43:2-7). "They... shall give account to Him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead" (1 Peter 4:4,5).
There
is contention in this life
From
which we shall not be exempt:
Be
not surprised that there is strife
As
sinners scorn us with contempt.
Be
sure of this: there is a day
In
which the wrath of God shall come.
By
every means, then, while we may,
Let
us be wise in saving some!
Though
proud men yet refuse to hear
The
voice of Jesus Christ, our Savior,
The
day of wrath is drawing near,
And
riches shall not buy His favor.
O
Lord, we know You'll come again,
And
all shall give account at last.
Contending
with contempt shall then
Seem
like a moment which has passed.
