Marvel at the Mockery

Read:  Psalm 123 / Proverbs 9 / Eccl. 3 /Mark 12

Psalm 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Proverbs 9:10-12 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding… If thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 He hath…  set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end… that men should fear before him.
Mark 12:10-11 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

We marvel at the mockery 
And proud contempt of sinners scorning:
In spite of evidence they see,
They still reject our Savior’s warning!  

How marvelous it is indeed
As we behold it with our eyes:
Prophetic Scriptures that we read
Exalt the Lord whom fools despise.
