Humble vs. Hardened

Read:  Psalm 10 / Proverbs 17 / Ezekiel 4 /2 Cor. 3

 

Psalm 10:17 ~ LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear.

Proverbs 17:16 ~ Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

Ezekiel 4:7 ~ Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem… and thou shalt prophesy against it.

2 Corinthians 3:14 ~ But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which veil is done away in Christ.

 

To whom does God incline His ear?

It is to those whose hearts are humble

Who turn to Him with godly fear,

While prideful hearts in darkness stumble.

 

Against the proud God sets His face

Whose hardened hearts have made them blind,

But if they humbly cry for grace,

God’s ear to them shall be inclined.
