His Promises and His Perfecting

Read:  Psalm 7 / Proverbs 19 / Leviticus 19 / 2 Corinthians 7

 

Psalm 7:10 My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

Leviticus 19:2,14,18 Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy…. Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God… thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.  

2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

The Lord Himself is our Defense,

Assuring us that He is near.

His promises give confidence,

Perfecting us with godly fear. 

 

Because the Lord Himself is holy,

He calls us to be holy too,

Perfecting us when we are lowly

With grace that cleanses us anew.
