Consequences
Consequences
“You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD.” Ezek 16:58 NIV
When we fail to obey
We suffer the consequences
Initially feel nothings changed
Until to the surface comes the balances
There’s not anything we say or do
That doesn’t have consequences
Heaven records all that happens
Knows all our nuances.
Sin can be enjoyable
But for a season
The consequences set in
When with sin we bargain
God has His laws
That cover all nature
Every human being
And every living creature.
When we choose to walk
Contrary to God’s mighty laws
We’ll always find consequences
To the surface comes flaws
But when we choose obedience
Choose to walk in God’s way
We find there is freedom
But the consequences don’t go away.
For the Consequences of obedience
Are wisdom and peace in our Lord.
Obedience God exchanges
For a great peace reward.
Forever must be our focus
Not the fleeting things of earth.
This life’s a poor exchange
For the eternity God unearths.
