Prudent Prayer

Read:  Psalm 71 / Proverbs 3 / Genesis 2 / Luke 5

 

Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Proverbs 3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Genesis 2:16-17 Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…  in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ‘

Luke 5:10 And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

 

The Lord has made our choices plain. 

Though some choose what He will abhor

And scorn the grace that they could gain,

We’re called to praise Him more and more. 

 

The choice in Eden brought despair

And robbed souls of their innocence,

But God still hears the prudent prayer

By every sinner who repents.
