God is Grieved

Read:  Psalm 53 / Proverbs 16 / Zechariah 2 / Mark 3 

 

Psalm 53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as… bread: they have not called upon God.

Proverbs 16:16,20 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!... He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

Zechariah 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts… unto the nations… he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Mark 3:5 He [Jesus]… looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts.

 

The workers of iniquity

Have touched the apple of God’s eye.

They walk as fools who don’t foresee

The judgment coming when they die. 

 

Our God is grieved by sinners hardened

Who scorn the wisdom He would give,

Who will not choose to thus be pardoned

By trusting Christ, so they might live.
