Rebels who Refuse

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 21 / Zechariah 7 / Mark 8 

 

Psalm 58:3-5 The wicked… go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies… like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken.

Proverbs 21:29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

Zechariah 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Mark 8:36,37 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

 

The rebels who refuse to hear

Have exercised their own volition.

Alas!  The day is drawing near

When they shall not escape perdition!

 

All those who choose to stop their ears

Shall reap the whirlwind at last 

When they lament their wasted years

And realize that grace has passed.
