Chance for Choosing

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 4 / Daniel 4 / 2 Timothy 4

 

Psalm 58:3-5 ~ The wicked… go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Proverbs 4:19 ~ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Daniel 4:37 ~ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment… those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 ~ Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season… For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

Like serpents which are never charmed,

The wicked choose to stop their ear.

They think that they will not be harmed

By blind indifference without fear.

 

The chance for choosing life is brief;

Nebuchadnezzar found this out. 

The time is short for unbelief,

For hell shall soon remove all doubt.
