Safe and Sane

Read:  Psalm 94 / Proverbs 18 / Esther 5 /Revelation 12

Psalm 94:11,19 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity...  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Esther 5:14 Haman... caused the gallows to be made.
Revelation 12:9 That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world... was cast out into the earth.

In Christ our hope is safe and sane
Amid this world's insanity. 
The thoughts of man are surely vain
That blindly trust humanity.  

In Haman's dreadful contemplation
We see the vanity of mind
Deceived by pride's imagination
And to destruction thus inclined.
