Lift up the Light

Read:  Psalm 4 / Proverbs 20 / 1 Chron. 3 / 2 Corinthians 11

 

Psalm 4:6 ~ Many… say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 

Proverbs 20:9,24 ~ Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?... Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

1 Chronicles 3:9-14 ~ The sons of David... Solomon's son was Rehoboam... Hezekiah... Manasseh...  Josiah his son.

2 Corinthians 11:3,4 ~ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus... another spirit… or another gospel… ye might well bear with him.

 

Amid the sayings of the lost

Are those which say it can’t be shown

When lines of good or bad are crossed,

Since absolutes cannot be known. 

 

The Lord will still lift up the light

To shine, as in Josiah’s day,

That we may show the wrong and right,

Confirmed by what the Scriptures say.
