We know Why

Read:  Psalm 136 / Proverbs 29 / Exodus 38 / 1 Corinthians 2

 

Psalm 136:1,23,24 ~ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever… Who remembered us in our low estate… and hath redeemed us from our enemies.

Proverbs 29:18 ~ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Exodus 38:22 ~ Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

1 Corinthians 2:16 ~ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

 

Give thanks to God for His decision

To rescue us from sin and shame! 

Now by His Word, He gives us vision

To see the reason Jesus came. 

 

The patterns seen in Exodus

Portrayed our Savior sacrificed.

We know why Jesus died for us,

For we have seen the mind of Christ.

Memorial of His Mercy

Read:  Psalm 135 / Proverbs 28 / Exodus 37 / 1 Corinthians 1 

 

Psalm 135:13 ~ Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

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

Exodus 37:8 ~ One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

1 Corinthians 1:30,31 ~ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

 

We see the great memorial

Of mercy in our Lord’s salvation

Through types that were prophetical,

Displayed to every generation. 

 

The mercy seat which we recall,

With cherubim on either side,   

Portrayed redemption once for all,

Fulfilled when Christ our Savior died.

Science Scripture Salvation

Read:  Psalm 134 / Proverbs 27 / Exodus 36 / Romans 16

 

Psalm 134:2,3 ~ Lift up your hands… and bless the LORD.  The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Proverbs 27:1 ~ Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Exodus 36:6 ~ And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

Romans 16:25,26 ~ The revelation of the mystery… was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets… made known to all nations.

 

Let us arise to bless the Lord

As we behold what He has made. 

When SCIENCE rightly is explored,

We see His majesty displayed. 

 

The time has come (for time is short)

For us to show the revelation

Of Jesus Christ as we report

The truth of SCRIPTURE and SALVATION.

Priestly Plan

Read:  Psalm 133 / Proverbs 26 / Exodus 35 / Romans 15

 

Psalm 133:1-3 ~ Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment… that ran down upon… Aaron's beard… for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Exodus 35:5,10 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart… every wise hearted…  shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded.

Romans 15:3 Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

 

We see the Lord’s commanded blessing

Anointing Aaron’s priestly role. 

The Lord, in type, was thus addressing

His priestly plan to save our soul. 

 

The tabernacle thus portrays

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He bore our curse!  To Him be praise

Who for our sake was sacrificed!

Rightful Rest

Read:  Psalm 132 / Proverbs 25 / Exodus 34 / Romans 14

 

Psalm 132:8,14 ~ Arise, O LORD, into thy rest… This is my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Proverbs 25:6,7 ~ Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king… better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither… in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 

Exodus 34:5,8 ~ The LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD…  And Moses made haste, and bowed his head… and worshiped.

Romans 14:11 ~ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

 

Let God arise into His rest

Exalted to His rightful throne

Within my heart as I attest

To all His tender mercies shown. 

 

As Moses heard the Lord proclaim

His mercy and His majesty,

So let me glorify the name

Of Christ my King who ransomed me!

Worship vs. Worry

Read:  Psalm 131 / Proverbs 24 / Exodus 33 / Romans 13

 

Psalm 131:1 ~ LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in… things too high for me.

Proverbs 24:14 ~ So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul… thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Exodus 33:11 ~ And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. 

Romans 13:12,14 ~ Let us put on the armor of light… Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh.

 

The things that are too high for me

Are not by worry remedied. 

I will forsake anxiety

To worship God who meets my need. 

 

Like Moses with the Lord would speak

As to a dear and trusted Friend,

The Lord gives counsel to the meek,

And those who trust Him, He’ll defend.

Sensible about Salvation

Read:  Psalm 130 / Proverbs 23 / Exodus 32 / Romans 12 

 

Psalm 130:3,4 ~ If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

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.

Exodus 32:32 ~ Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin– if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

Romans 12:1 ~ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

 

The Lord removes each stain of sin

That we may stand before His face,

For when our Savior enters in,

Our sins are purged by truth and grace. 

 

There is an end when all shall bow:

This is the promised expectation.

The time to trust in Christ is now. 

Be sensible about salvation!
