So Soon

Read:  Psalm 106 / Proverbs 20 / Jeremiah 50 / Eph. 5

 

Psalm 106:12-13 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.

Proverbs 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep… they have forgotten their resting place.

Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

 

With Pharaoh’s army close behind,

The Red Sea parted by God’s Word. 

And yet His people were inclined

To soon forget what had occurred.

 

Shall we so soon forget His grace

And not remember what He did

To grant to us a resting place?

O may the Lord our God forbid!
