Kindness of our King

Read:  Psalm 62 / Proverbs 8 / Daniel 8 / Philemon 1 

 

Psalm 62:7 ~ In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Proverbs 8:35 ~ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.

Daniel 8:23,25 ~ A king of fierce countenance… understanding dark sentences, shall stand up… he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Philemon 17,18 ~ Receive him as myself. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account.

 

In Christ our King is our salvation.

Behold the kindness of our Savior!

He rescued us from condemnation

By dying to extend His favor.

 

A king against Him yet shall stand,

But he will not be standing long,

For he’ll be broken without hand;

Our King is kind, yet He is strong.

Lofty Love

Psalm 61:2,8 ~ From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I… that I may daily perform my vows.

Proverbs 7:6,24 ~ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement… Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Daniel 7:22 ~ Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Titus 3:4,7 ~ The kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared… that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

 

To God I lift my heart’s desire

When I have stumbled in my walk,

And graciously He lifts me higher,

As I recall He is my Rock.

 

Now in this high and lofty place

My heart is set on things above,

As I behold my King of grace,

His kindness, and His boundless love!

Friend who cannot Fail

Read:  Psalm 60 / Proverbs 6 / Daniel 6 / Titus 2

 

Psalm 60:5-12 ~ That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me… Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Proverbs 6:3 ~ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself… go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

Daniel 6:27 ~ He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Titus 2:13,14 ~ The great God and our Savior Jesus Christ…  gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

 

In Jesus Christ we have a Friend

Defending us who cannot fail. 

Though foes against His church contend,

The gates of hell shall not prevail.

 

There is no friend like Jesus Christ

Who rescued Daniel from his foes,

Who for our sake was sacrificed

And who prevailed when He rose.

Providing as Promised

Read:  Psalm 59 / Proverbs 5 / Daniel 5 / Titus 1

 

Psalm 59:9,17 ~ Because of his strength will I wait upon thee… for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.

Proverbs 5:21 ~ For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Titus 1:2 ~ In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.

 

The enemy is strong indeed,

But God is infinitely greater

Who is providing all we need

As our Defender and Creator.

 

Though circumstances may seem daunting,

The hand of God that gives each breath

Extends His grace that’s never wanting,

As promised both in life and death.

Chance for Choosing Christ

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 4 / Daniel 4 / 2 Timothy 4

 

Psalm 58:3-5 ~ The wicked… go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Proverbs 4:19 ~ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Daniel 4:37 ~ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment… those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 ~ Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season… For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

Like serpents which are never charmed,

The wicked choose to stop their ear.

They think that they will not be harmed

By blind indifference without fear.

 

The chance for choosing Christ is brief,

And every soul shall find this out. 

The time is short for unbelief,

For hell shall soon remove all doubt.

Cause for Confidence

Read:  Psalm 57 / Proverbs 3 / Daniel 3 / 2 Timothy 3

 

Psalm 57:2 ~ I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

Proverbs 3:26 ~ For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Daniel 3:17,29 ~ Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us…  because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

2 Timothy 3:1,14 ~ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come… But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of. 

 

In every battlefield of strife,

We trust in Christ for His defense.

He gave Himself to save our life;

He is our Cause for confidence.

 

Our Savior shall deliver us

As He has taught us in His Word.

Though times are growing perilous,

His promised presence is assured.

Verified Vows

Read:  Psalm 56 / Proverbs 2 / Daniel 2 / 2 Timothy 2

 

Psalm 56:10,12 ~ In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word… Thy vows are upon me, O God.

Psalm 22:25-26 ~ I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever.

Proverbs 2:1-9 ~ If thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee… Then shalt thou understand righteousness… judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Daniel 2:28 ~ There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known… what shall be in the latter days.

2 Timothy 2:15 ~ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

 

The vows of Christ were proven true,

As verified in prophecy,

When He fulfilled Psalm twenty-two,

Verse twenty-six, eternally.

 

For God commands from heaven’s throne,

And thus His Gospel is proclaimed

While those who know Him make Him known

As workmen who are not ashamed.
