Reason with the Rebels

Read:  Psalm 115 / Proverbs 29 / Ezekiel 2 / Col. 4

 

Psalm 115:2,11 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?... Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Ezekiel 2:7 Thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or… forbear: for they are most rebellious.

Colossians 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom… redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

 

We reason with the rebels now

Who say “Where is your God?” to us. 

The time will come when they shall bow

When Christ returns victorious. 

 

The Lord shall be our Help and Shield,

And He will teach us what to say

To rebels who may yet be healed

As we redeem each precious day.
