Humility vs. Hypocrisy

Read:  Psalm 119:1-8 / Proverbs 15 / Job 20 /Matthew 15

 

 Psalm 119:2 ~ Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Proverbs 15:33 ~ The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

Job 20:5 ~ The triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. 

Matthew 15:7-9 ~ Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me.

 

How blest are those who are sincere,

Who humbly walk before the Lord. 

Their hearts are cleansed by godly fear;

Eternal joy is their reward. 

 

Though hypocrites are so inclined

To boast with momentary laughter,

They shall discover they were blind

And shall regret it ever after.
