The Horror of the Cup

“Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.”  Psalm 11:6

The wicked is a group I do not want to be a part of!  But when I examine myself I fit right in.  If you are honest you also will find this true of yourself. We are all liars, thieves, inwardly corrupt and desperately wicked.  This is not a thought but it is written in the Word of GOD!

Glory to the FATHER who sent the SON to take our place!  JESUS was the only man fit to be in the righteous group!  Tempted He was in every way we are and yet never sinned!  He was perfect in every respect!  He took the cup we deserved and redeem us from the penalty of death! 

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21

There is a cup I wish not to drink
Filled to the brim with snares!
Its grisly taste is bitter and barbed  
It looks like wheat but it is tares!

Just a touch to the lips is fatal you see,
Like fire and brimstone going down.
To the inward parts of body and soul
Submerged you’ll certainly drown!

Out of this cup comes a tempest strong
You will beg for a little relief.
But you've spent your time submerged in self
Now all that is left is your grief!


“And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.”  Mark 14:36
