Tendency of Tenderness

Read:  Psalm 64 / Proverbs 19 / 2 Chronicles 34 / James 3

Psalm 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied... shall not be visited with evil.
2 Chronicles 34:27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God... I have even heard thee also.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

The tendency of tenderness,
Which godly fear in us imparts,
Shall teach us how to worry less
By trusting God to rule our hearts. 

The Lord examined from above
Josiah's heart and found it tender. 
The Lord makes known His wondrous love 
To humble hearts that will surrender.
