Labor in the Light

Read:  Psalm 106 / Proverbs 04 / Isaiah 52 / John 9

 

Psalm 106:2 ~ Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

Proverbs 4:18 ~ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Isaiah 52:7 ~ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

John 9:4 ~ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

 

As we are gathering the facts

That magnify our Savior’s ways,

We cannot utter all His acts,

Nor can we show forth all His praise!

 

With Gospel truth, we shine the light

And publish peace while yet we may.

We cannot labor in the night,

So let us work while it is day.

Freedom in the Fact

Read:  Psalm 105 / Proverbs 03 / Isaiah 51 / John 8

 

Psalm 105:1 ~ O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

Proverbs 3:34 ~ Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Isaiah 51:11 ~ Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

John 8:31,32 ~ If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 

How gladly we may join the ranks

Of all who have been saved by grace,

As we who are redeemed give thanks

To Christ who is our Hiding Place. 

 

There was no hope for liberation

Without our Lord’s heroic act,

But Jesus fought for our salvation;

Our freedom rests upon that fact.

My Meditation and My Message

Read:  Psalm 104 / Proverbs 02 / Isaiah 50 / John 7

 

Psalm 104:34 ~ My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

Proverbs 2:1,5 ~ My son, if thou wilt receive my words… then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Isaiah 50:4 ~ The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

John 7:17 ~ If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

 

The Lord shall be my meditation

Who saved me from a hopeless hell.

He is the Author of salvation

And is the Finisher as well.

 

The Lord shall be my message, too. 

I’ll answer those who ask a reason

With prophecies now proven true,

Fulfilled exactly in their season.

Time to Trust

Read:  Psalm 103 / Proverbs 01 / Isaiah 49 / John 6

 

Psalm 103:7 ~ He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

Proverbs 1:23 ~ Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Isaiah 49:8 ~ Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee.

John 6:45 ~ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 

 

To Moses God made known His ways;

His acts were seen by Israel.

Obedient faith produces praise

And also rescues us from hell. 

 

The time is now acceptable

To trust the Lord and find His favor.

The Gospel truth that saves the soul

Is drawing hearts to Christ our Savior.

To Hear The Helpless

Read:  Psalm 102 / Proverbs 30 / Isaiah 48 / John 5

 

Psalm 102:19,20 ~ For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death.

Proverbs 30:4-5 ~ Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Isaiah 48:16 ~ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD and his Spirit… sent me.

John 5:39 ~ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

 

The Lord looked down from heaven’s height

To hear the helpless captives groan.

Their souls were precious in His sight,

So He descended from His throne. 

 

This was the promise that was spoken

By prophets who foretold God’s plan.

The Scriptures never have been broken, 

Foretelling grace to fallen man.

Seeks for Such

Read:  Psalm 101 / Proverbs 29 / Isaiah 47 / John 4

 

Psalm 101:1-3 ~ I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD… I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

Proverbs 29:26 ~ Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

Isaiah 47:4 ~ As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

John 4:24 ~ The Father seeketh such… God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

Should not the mercy of our Savior

And judgment that for us He bore

Direct our song and our behavior

To praise the Hero we adore?

 

Because our Savior suffered much

When He for us was sacrificed,

The Father rightly seeks for such

Who truly love and worship Christ.

Mercy's Mandate

Read:  Psalm 100 / Proverbs 28 / Isaiah 46 / John 3

 

Psalm 100:5 ~ For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Proverbs 28:13 ~ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Isaiah 46:12,13 ~ Hearken… I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.

John 3:7 ~ Marvel not that I said… Ye must be born again.

 

The Lord is good; His truth endures

To each and every generation.

His everlasting mercy cures

The sinful soul by His salvation.

 

The righteousness of God came near

When Jesus walked among us then.

He made salvation’s mandate clear:

A sinner must be born again.
