Leave a Legacy

Read:  Psalm 92 / Proverbs 13 / Joshua 7 / Revelation 3 

 

Psalm 92:14,15 ~ They shall still bring forth fruit in old age… to shew that the LORD is upright: He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Proverbs 13:14 ~ The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Joshua 7:10-13 ~ The LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?  Israel hath sinned... thou canst not stand... until ye take away the accursed thing.

Revelation 3:8,11 ~ I have set before thee an open door… I come quickly: hold that fast… that no man take thy crown.

 

The time of old age isn’t far,

For soon we’re looking back at youth.

Let us examine who we are

And leave a legacy of truth. 

 

Let snares that make us go astray

Be seen as things that we abhor.

Let no one take our crown away

While God provides an open door.

Looking at our Love

Read:  Psalm 91 / Proverbs 12 / Joshua 6 / Revelation 2 

 

Psalm 91:14 ~ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Proverbs 12:5,26 ~ The thoughts of the righteous are right… The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

Joshua 6:18 ~ And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed.

Revelation 2:4 ~ Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

 

We rightly set our love on Christ

Who rescued us from our destruction,

And yet we still may be enticed

By things that lead to our seduction. 

 

The Lord is looking at our love;

Let every idol be accursed!

His eyes behold us from above;

Do we still love Him as at first?

Wisely Won

Read:  Psalm 90 / Proverbs 11 / Joshua 5 / Revelation 1

 

Psalm 90:17 ~ And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Proverbs 11:30 ~ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Joshua 5:14 ~ As captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said… What saith my lord unto his servant?

Revelation 1:5,6 ~ Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood… to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Now let the beauty of the Lord,

Who for our sake was sacrificed,

Bear fruit in souls redeemed, restored,

And wisely won for Jesus Christ.

 

Let worship be the motivation

That stirs our hearts with grateful love

To serve the Lord of our salvation 

Who intercedes for us above.

Meaningful Monuments

Read:  Psalm 89 / Proverbs 10 / Joshua 4 / Jude 

 

Psalm 89:14,15 ~ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound.

Proverbs 10:7,21 ~ The memory of the just is blessed… The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

Joshua 4:6,7 ~ When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shall answer… The waters of Jordan were cut off… these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel forever.

Jude 3 ~ Beloved… it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

 

The joyful sound of Gospel truth

Proclaims the blessing of God’s grace. 

Declare it clearly to our youth

To teach them now to seek His face! 

 

Let children ask, “What does this mean?”

When monuments shall be discussed,

That we may show the truth foreseen

In Scriptures they are taught to trust.

Salvation Sometimes Severs

Read:  Psalm 88 / Proverbs 9 / Joshua 3 / 3 John

 

Psalm 88:1,18 ~ O LORD God of my salvation… Lover and friend hast thou put far from me.

Proverbs 9:6 ~ Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.  

Joshua 3:9 ~ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

3 John 11 ~ Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

 

The choices true believers make

Will sometimes sever them from friends.

When Christ is spurned (the BIG mistake),

A close companionship then ends.

 

The Lord has called us by His Word

To follow Him at every cost. 

To evil men, this is absurd,

Yet this confirms that they are lost.
