Gladness of God

Read:  Psalm 90 / Proverbs 27 / 1 Samuel 20 / John 7

 

Psalm 90:12 ~ So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Proverbs 27:1,11 ~ Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth... My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

1 Samuel 20:14,15 ~ And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not: but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever.

John 7:18 ~ He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

 

We wisely should number our days,

Since we only have a short while 

To give to our Lord His due praise

And live for the joy of His smile. 

 

Let this be our life's simple story:

We lived for the gladness of God

To give to our Lord all the glory,

Regardless of who would applaud.
