Cherish vs. Chased

Read:  Psalm 117 / Proverbs 13 / Job 18 /Matthew 13 

Psalm 117:1-2 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth forever. Praise ye the LORD.
Proverbs 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Job 18:18,21He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world... this is... him that knoweth not God.
Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Eternal pleasures yet await
All those who love the Lord we cherish,
But those who mock Him with their hate
Shall take their place with those who perish. 

How blessed are those who see the sight
Of Christ and those who heed His voice,
But souls are chased away from light
Who know not God, and that, by choice.
