1 Kings 20:1-43; Jeremiah 32:1-25; Hebrews 3:1-19
We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. Matthew 11:17
Here in our Lord’s day, we see a people being stubbornly unreasonable, much as it is today. When the Lord cried, “Come now, and let us reason together” (Isa. 1:18), it fell on many deaf ears in those times, as it does in these. When people refuse the merciful invitation of the Gospel, it is their unreasonable way of refusing to consider what their Creator wants to say to them. Our God is longsuffering beyond measure, but we wonder how much longer this will last. —Rick Morse
The angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore. —Jim Reeves
