Wiser Ways

Read:  Psalm 107 / Proverbs 3 / Job 8 /Matthew 3

Psalm 107:8,43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in LORD with ALL thine heart... In ALL thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Job 8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way.

Matthew 3:3 Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

I would be wiser in my ways

As I observe that God is true,

That I may live my life to praise

And serve Him as I ought to do. 

As I behold His joyful way

With lovingkindness He prepares,

His truth and mercy day by day

Protect my heart from dreaded snares. 

Gladly Glorify

Read:  Psalm 106 / Proverbs 2 / Job 7 /Matthew 2

 Psalm 106:4-5 Remember me, O LORD... visit me with thy salvation...  that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation.

Proverbs 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

Job 7:17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

Matthew 2:2,10 Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star... and are come to worship him... When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

We gladly glorify our King

With all who wisely praise His name. 

We walk with those who also bring 

The Gospel message we proclaim. 

We worship as we count the cost 

That heaven paid through Christ our Savior

Who ransomed us when we were lost:

He gave His life to grant us favor!  

Forcible Facts

Read:  Psalm 105 / Proverbs 1 / Job 6 /Matthew 1

Psalm 105:1-3 O give thanks unto the LORD... talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name.

Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Job 6:25 How forcible are right words!

Matthew 1:21,23 Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins... and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Give thanks to God for all He did

And talk of all His wondrous acts. 

Let nothing of His works be hid;

How forcible are proven facts! 

Give glory to our Savior's name!

His name is called Emmanuel,

For "God with us" through Jesus came

To save us from eternal hell.
