Exact Expectation

Read:  Psalm 135 / Proverbs 23 / Jer. 36 / Romans 10 

 

Psalm 135:13 ~ Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

Proverbs 23:18 ~ For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Jeremiah 36:28 ~ Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words… which Jehoiakim… hath burned.

Romans 10:16-17 ~ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

The Lord has gained a reputation,

Fulfilling every prophecy.

His promise gives an expectation

That it shall thus exactly be.

 

Though fools, like king Jehoiakim,

Reject God’s Word that they have spurned,

The Lord rebukes the likes of him,

Yet saves the humble who have turned.
