Expounding on our Expectation

Read:  Psalm 87 / Proverbs 24 / 1 Samuel 17 / John 4

 

Psalm 87:3,7 ~ Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God... instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. 

Proverbs 24:13-14 ~ My son, eat thou honey, because it is good... So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul... and thy expectation shall not be cut off. 

1 Samuel 17:47 ~ All this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S.

John 4:35-36 ~ Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal.

 

Expounding on our expectation,

The things we see are glorious,

For heaven is our destination,

Where Jesus reigns victorious! 

 

And even as the conflict rages

In battlefields filled with strife,

Our Lord reminds us of the wages

In souls that gain eternal life.
