Mocking Mercy

Read:  Psalm 82 / Proverbs 28 / Joel 2 / 1Peter 2

 

Psalm 82:5 ~ They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations… are out of course.

Proverbs 28:5,13 ~ Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things… He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Joel 2:13 ~ Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness.

1 Peter 2:21-25 ~ Christ also suffered for us… by whose stripes ye are healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

 

When mockers proudly make their choice

To do and say as they have planned,

They will not heed the Savior’s voice, 

Nor will they choose to understand. 

 

Yet God is merciful and kind

To all who truly seek His face.

His ear is graciously inclined

To save the humble by His grace.
