“I am Thy servant…. It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void Thy law…. Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way” (Psalm 119:125-128). “Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee to know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?” (Proverbs 22:20,21). “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:26,27).
Traditional sayings that many recite,
Such as, “The majority rules”,
Though widely accepted, are often not right,
Embracing the dogma of fools.
The time has now come to examine the facts
That many ignore in their pride,
Regarding the truth of the Lord and His acts
Of judgment when He was defied.
Historical judgments of God in the past
Were never performed without warning,
Yet in many ignored Him until at the last,
When judgment then silenced their scorning.
Has not God recorded these things in His writing
In Scripture and history’s pages?
Has not He provided salvation, inviting
A refuge in Christ through the ages?
We see an example from history taken:
Majority crowds held their sway
When Noah was mocked, yet they were mistaken,
Till flood waters swept them away.
Lord, we are Your servants, redeemed by Your grace,
Convinced that Your Scriptures are true.
We’re seeking the favor alone of Your face,
No matter what others may do.
