Messengers who Measure

Read:  Psalm 48 / Proverbs 25 / Ezekiel 42 / 2 Thes. 3

 

Psalm 48:9-13 ~ We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple… Walk about Zion… Mark ye well her bulwarks… that ye may tell it to the generation following.

Proverbs 25:12,13 ~ As an earring of gold… so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear… so is a faithful messenger.

Ezekiel 42:15 ~ Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 ~ But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

 

We search the depths of God’s great love

As we are guided by His Word

With God’s perspective, far above

What eyes have seen and ears have heard.

 

As messengers we hold the treasure

Of God’s prophetic truth unveiled

With faithfulness that we can measure:

His promises have never failed.

Kindred King

Read:  Psalm 47 / Proverbs 24 / Ezekiel 41 / 2 Thes. 2

 

Psalm 47:7 ~ For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

Proverbs 24:14 ~ So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Ezekiel 41:19 ~ The face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side… made through all the house round about.

John 19:5,14 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the Man!... Behold your King!

2 Thessalonians 2:14 ~ Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Let all creation be explored

With understanding as we sing: 

Behold the Man, our Kindred Lord!

Behold the Lion, Christ our King!

 

We see His glory on display

Engraved on walls which tell His story

As Man and Lion which portray

The Gospel of our Savior’s glory.

Worship and Warn

Psalm 46:10 ~ Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Proverbs 23:17,18 ~ Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Ezekiel 40:4 ~ Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee… declare all that thou seest.

2 Thessalonians 1:10 ~ When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

The Lord commands us to be still

And contemplate the end of things,

Since Christ is God and surely will

Be worshiped as the King of kings.

 

So let this be our declaration

That hearts may seek Him while they may

As we proclaim His great salvation

And warn as well of judgment day.

Forever Faithful

1 Thessalonians 5:24 ~ Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 

 

The scepter of the Lord is right;

He rules forever on His throne.

His counsel is our guiding light

That we may trust in Him alone.

 

Though mockers, as foretold, are scorning,

They shall discover they were wrong.

Our faithful God extends His warning,

And still His saving hand is strong.

The Rapture Then Return

Read:  Psalm 44 / Proverbs 21 / Ezekiel 38 / 1 Thes. 4 

 

Psalm 44:7,8 ~ But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 ~ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

 

We boast in Jesus Christ alone

As we fulfill His great commission.

We make His great salvation known

By which we have escaped perdition.

 

We know that Jesus shall return

To reign, as Scripture prophesies, 

Yet for His rapture first we yearn

When those who sleep in Christ shall rise.

Tabernacle Truth

Read:  Psalm 43 / Proverbs 20 / Ezekiel 37 / 1 Thes. 3

 

Psalm 43:3 ~ Send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Proverbs 20:24 ~ Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

1 Thessalonians 3:13 ~ To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

 

By Gospel truth we have been led 

To view the cost we could not pay,

For Jesus suffered in our stead

Because there was no other way.

 

The tabernacle of the Lord

Is now with those He justified.

No wonder Jesus is adored

By His redeemed, for whom He died!

Psalm 42:8 ~ Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

The lovingkindness of the Lord

Shall be our comfort all day long,

And in the night, our prayer outpoured

Is heard by God who gives His song.

 

The Lord is searching us within 

To cleanse our hearts and our behavior

So we may be allowed to win

The souls who need to trust our Savior.
