Bold to Build

Read:  Psalm 78 / Proverbs 2 / Nehemiah 2 / 1 John 4

 

Psalm 78:70-72 ~ He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds... So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart...guided... by the skillfulness of his hands.

Proverbs 2:6 ~ For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Nehemiah 2:18 ~ Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me... And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

1 John 4:4 ~ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them... greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 

The Lord took David from the fold

Where He had taught him to be skilled

With training that would make him bold

To guide the nation God would build.

 

So may we likewise now be wise

With courage and with strengthened hands

As Jesus calls us to arise

And build His church as He commands.
