Today's verse is Mark 4:12
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
One might ask, If God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, why then does he hide the truth as he has stated here? Know now, that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him, but those that wish to know him not, he gives them their desire, and all the troubles that come with it. But since Christ was lifted up, we have this promise that he will draw all men unto him, since no man can come to the Lord unless the Spirit draws him. Therefore, if you know such a one that is currently blinded by his own desires, pray for him, that his eyes may be opened and have the opportunity to choose life over death, and joy over hidden misery. But as the choice was yours, so is their choice theirs. Amen.
To God be the Glory
