Lesson 4: They shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
www.bible.com/bible/59/psa.25
O Lord, You who rule, even as Your merciful grace is over all who fear You, so also is Your fierce wrath over all who despise You; who walk after their lusts, and dare to say with all fools, "There is no God! We have made a covenant with death, and with hell an agreement. God does not know what we do. Thick clouds are a covering to Him so He cannot see the works of men. We will eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. Our life is short and full of trouble, and there is no consolation when we have gone. We will live in affluence while we can and use the creatures as we desire. We will oppress the poor, defraud the righteous and condemn him with the most disgraceful death.”
O, dear Lord, like this the world errs and lives everywhere in the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and in the pride of life. It is mere deceit, unrighteousness and tyranny wherever we turn. Few are they who fear Your name. Paul says, "To be carnally minded is death;" Sentence is already passed; if we live according to the flesh we must die - so teach the Scriptures. If we do not repent there is nothing more certain than fierce anger. Therefore, dear Lord, threaten, reprove, admonish and teach - perhaps they may yet repent, know the truth and be saved. They are the works of Your hands, created after Your image, and dearly bought. Let them not be confused like Cain, Sodom, Pharaoh and Antiochus with all those who have sinned without a cause.
