"Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more... And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more" (Exodus 10:28,29). "Be wise now therefore, O ye kings... Kiss the Son, lest... ye perish from the way" (Psalm 2:10,12). "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth" (Proverbs 27:1). "When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son... to redeem them that were under the law" (Galatians 4:4,5).
What Pharaoh
rashly said before
Would rise to
taunt him with tomorrow:
"Take heed
to... see my face no more"
Would be
fulfilled with death and sorrow.
God's Spirit
bids us to be wise
And "kiss
the Son" whom we should cherish,
While yet His
Gospel testifies
That those who
trust Him shall not perish.
How foolishly
the rebel boasts
Of future
things, yet does not bow
To Jesus Christ,
the Lord of hosts,
Who calls the
sinner to come NOW.
Lord, right on
time, You were sent here
As our Redeemer
and our King.
Now all who
trust You need not fear
The things
tomorrow yet may bring.
