Standard of the Steward

Read:  Psalm 145 / Proverbs 2 / Jer. 46 /1 Cor. 4

 

Psalm 145:19 ~ He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Proverbs 2:4,5 ~ If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Jeremiah 46:15 ~ Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.

1 Corinthians 4:2-4 ~ It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful… I judge not mine own self… He that judgeth me is the Lord.

 

The Lord fulfills the deep desire

Of those who fear Him as they should.

We’re called to lift our standard higher

Than those who judge themselves as good.

 

Let not the steward boast with pride,

For arrogance shall be abhorred.

We cannot be self-justified,

For He who judges is the Lord.
