Psalms 94:8
Harden not your hearts.
Whatsoever God proposeth by preaching or inspiration to a sinner, it resteth still in the power of his freewill [1], to harden his heart, and to reject all such good motions, and so he doth not only frustrate God's grace, and hinder his own justification, but also increaseth his former sins. [2] But by not resisting, when deliberating thereupon he could resist, he disposeth himself and cooperateth to first justification. And therefore the royal Prophet here admonisheth, and earnestly exhorteth all men, to do this which God hath put in our power, not to harden our own hearts, when we hear his voice, by resisting and rejecting his grace freely offered, without all merit of our part.
