Be ye not as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Psalms 32:9. Therefore, if ye call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. 1 Peter 1:17.
O wretched man! Dost thou really believe that God is the judge of all things, even what is privately done, the secrets of the heart not excepted? How canst thou meet thy Judge in this thy security or hypocrisy, without a true change of the heart? Dost thou think that there is such a thing as dissembling, excusing, or escaping then, as there is now? By no means? O begin therefore in time to consider it well. How wilt thou appear before that awful, holy, and impartial judgment seat? What canst thou answer for thyself? What then must become of thee?
Think, O my soul, the dreadful day
When this incensed God
Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea,
And fling his wrath abroad!
What shall the wretch, the sinner do?
He once defied the Lord:
But he shall dread the thunderer now
And sink beneath his word.
Tempests of angry fire shall roll,
To blast the rebel worm;
And beat upon his naked soul
In one eternal storm.
