Count the Cost

Read:  Psalm 148 / Proverbs 28 / 2 Samuel 4 / Luke 14

 

Psalm 148:11-13 Kings of the earth, and all people… both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent.

Proverbs 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

2 Samuel 4:10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I… slew him… who thought that I would have given him a reward.

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

 

The name of God is excellent

Above all other names explored,

But those who mock Him shall lament

That they refused to seek the Lord. 

 

The sinners blinded by their pride

Have never stopped to count the cost

Of turning from the Lord who died

To pay the ransom for the lost.
