DANGER.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.—Matthew, v. 21, 22.
What is danger
More than the weakness of our apprehension?
A poor cold part o’ the blood; whom takes it hold of?
Cowards and wicked livers; valiant minds
Were made the masters of it.
Beaumont and Fletcher.
Dangers of every shape and name
Attend the followers of the Lamb,
Who leave the World’s deceitful shore,
And leave it to return no more.
Cowper.
Dangers stand thick through all the ground
To push us to the tomb,
And fierce diseases wait around
To hurry mortals home.
Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense
To walk this dangerous road,
And if our souls be hurried hence,
May they be found with God.
Watts.
When dangers compass me around,
And unto Thee I cry,
An ark of safety will be found,
Whereto my soul may fly.
I know that my Redeemer’s hand
Will be outstretched to save,
If dangers meet me on the land,
Or on the stormy wave.
And wheresoe’er my feet may go,
Though perilous the road,
My soul assured will keep, and know
That there His feet have trod.
Egone.
