"Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians… hardened their hearts? When He had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go?" (1 Samuel 6:6). "How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?... But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation" (Psalm 13:1,5). "A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished" (Proverbs 27:12). "Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place" (Acts 1:25).
Examples surely
do exist
Of rebel hearts
that had been hardened,
As Egypt,
choosing to resist
Instead of
turning to be pardoned.
We hear the
psalmist cry to God
"How
long?" immersed in tribulation,
But when we see
God's judgment rod,
Our hearts
rejoice in His salvation.
A prudent man foresees
the wrath
And finds in
Christ his Hiding Place,
But many choose rebellion's
path,
As Judas, who
refused God's grace.
Examples that
have been revealed
(Like Egypt) urge
our hearts, O Lord,
To show the lost
they may be healed
Or bear the wage
of sin's reward.
