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 [eternity, Heb. עוֹלָם o-lawm'] 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 at the pride 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.
