MORNING MEDITATION

"The fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" - Prov. 1:7

Fear here implies, not dread, but rather reverent awe. He who does not revere God is branded as a fool, a simpleton, who in hiscolossal ignorance often fancies himself wiser than his creator and so ignoring alladvice, plunges headlong into things that are destructive alike to body and soul. ......H.A. Ironside

Life passing aimlessly, seeking for joys, Building bright hopes upon frail earthly toys;

Satan fills time for us as it slips by, Little we think of God, Soul you and I.

Pleasure an opiate, making deem, Hell but an idle dream;

Caught in his silken web like any fly, We, Satan's captives are held, Soul you and I.

Down from the heavens above, God sent His Son; He died upon the cross, for us undone;

Now through God's wondrous grace, Christ makes us nigh, We evermore are His, Soul you and I.

Praise Him for ever, then, who set us free; Live henceforth unto Him, all His to be;

For us the world's vain mirth is but a lie, WE have found CHRIST our joy, Soul you and I.

Washed in His precious blood, no more to be Derelicts menacing life's human sea;

No more in Satan's power, doomed but to die, We are Christ's ransomed ones, Soul you and I.-- J.A.B.
