God Is Not Mocked

 
Though I am not a scholar, Lord,
This much I’ve come to know,
You’ve told us more than once that we
Will reap that which we sow.
 
The fields sown with the Word of God
Will overflow with grace,
But those sown with sin will produce
Only death and disgrace.
 
Those who mock You and twist Your Word
To lead others astray,
Will find they’ve chosen a dark path
When they face judgement day.
 
I’m not being parochial,
You’ve said as much Yourself,
But far too many, today, put
Your Word on a back shelf.
 
They proclaim, in Your name, their lies,
Mocking the laws You gave.
As if they, too, hold Your power,
Which they so clearly crave.   
 
They are not You and when they speak
Their souls are scarred with sin
From which they will never be healed
Unless they turn again.
 
I fear that they don’t understand
The vast harvest they’ll reap
Sowing the blasphemies they speak,
The lies they choose to keep.
 
I pray that they will turn to You,
Step off the path they’re on
And seek to live within Your Word
Before their chance is gone.
 
Please help them, Lord, to understand
What lies ahead of them
That they may turn, seek Your grace, and
Avoid that harvest, grim.
 
Galatians 6:7 
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
 
Exodus 20:7 
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.”
