"The transgression of the wicked saith… that there is no fear of God before his eyes" (Psalm 36:1). "The counsel of the LORD, that shall stand… The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil… An ungodly witness scorneth judgment" (Proverbs 19:20,21,28). "As he [Paul] reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee" (Acts 24:25).
What kind of
person doesn't fear
When mocking God's
authority,
Refusing counsel
he should hear,
Indifferent to
eternity?
The counsel of
the Lord shall stand,
No matter what
the scorners say.
It is the fool
who has not planned
To meet the Lord
on judgment day.
The fear of God makes
sinners wise
And satisfies
their longing thirst
With truth that
opens blinded eyes
And grace that saves
those who were cursed.
As Felix trembled
at Your Word,
We marvel, Lord,
that he could hear it,
Yet trust You
not when he was stirred
By the
conviction of Your Spirit!
