"So foolish was I, and ignorant.... Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory" (Psalm 73:22-24). "Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth?" (Proverbs 22:20-21). "Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen" (Mark 16:14).
So foolish, Lord, I surely know
My heart can often be;
And still in tenderness you show
The truth that makes me free.
Thank you, Lord, that You uplift
With counsels that are true.
Your prompt upbraiding is a gift
That keeps me close to You.
