"God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us… that Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations" (Psalm 67:1,2). "Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known My words unto you… for the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them" (Proverbs 1:23,32). "These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you" (1 John 2:26).
There
is a choice we all must make
Between
salvation and seduction.
The
latter is the great mistake
That
brings the fool to his destruction.
The
fool may trust in fleeting wealth
And
be seduced by sinful pleasure,
Yet
we may show the saving health
Of
God's salvation that we treasure.
Prosperity
may bring the fall
Of
fools who turn away from God.
God's
Spirit is reproving all,
But
fools prefer what men applaud.
Lord,
in our hearts now come and rule
And
cleanse us from seduction's lust,
Lest
we should fall as does the fool
Who
never placed in You his trust.
