Governed by God

Read:  Psalm 75 / Proverbs 14 / 1 Chron. 10 / 1 Cor. 2

 

Psalm 75:7 ~ But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Proverbs 14:34 ~ Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

1 Chronicles 10:14 ~ And [Saul] inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David.

1 Corinthians 2:16 ~ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

 

Though wicked rulers seize a crown,

Our God is Judge:  He shall decide

Whom He sets up, whom He puts down,

And whom He humbles in their pride.

 

As God chose David to be king

Because his heart was so inclined

To do His will and to Him cling,

Let us be governed by Christ’s mind.
