God’s Final Call

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”  Proverbs 1:20-33

As I read the above passage this morning, the following song came to my mind…a very somber song, yet very true. If you have never trusted Christ as your Saviour, please don’t put it off. You never know when God’s final call to you will be. If you hear Him calling you right now…not audibly, of course…but, in your heart, you realize you are a sinner in need of a Saviour, won’t you humble yourself in repentance and accept Christ’s gift of salvation?

God’s Final Call

Someday you’ll hear God’s Final Call to you, To take His offer of salvation true- This could be it my friend if you but knew- God’s Final Call, God’s Final Call

How can you live another day in sin, Thinking some day with Christ you will begin? O will you hear above the world’s loud din- God’s Final Call, God’s Final Call

If you reject God’s Final Call of grace, You’ll have no chance your footsteps to retrace. All hope will then be gone and doom you’ll face. O hear His call! God’s Final Call
