Proclaim His Praise

Read:  Psalm 150 / Proverbs 06 / Isaiah 10 /Luke 23

Psalm 150:1,2 ~ Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Proverbs 6:3 ~ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

Isaiah 10:21 ~ The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

Luke 23:42,43 ~ He said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 

Praise God for all His mighty acts. 

Praise God for who He truly is. 

Praise God as we explore the facts,

For all creation’s works are His.

 

Praise God that He became our Savior

When every other hope grew dim! 

Proclaim His praise for all His favor

Bestowed on all who trust in Him!

By His prophetic declaration. 

 

Our God foresaw that some would scorn

And spurn His Son whom He would send,

Yet unto us a Child is born,

For what He promised has an end.

Happiness, Help, Hope

Read:  Psalm 146 / Proverbs 02 / Isaiah 6 /Luke 19

 

Psalm 146:5,6 ~ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD… which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all… therein: which keepeth truth forever.

We find our happiness in Christ

With help and hope eternally

Because our Lord was sacrificed

To ransom us and set us free.  

 

We’ve heard our risen Savior’s voice

Remind us that He paid that cost

To thus extend to all the choice

To trust the Lord who saves the lost.

Problem of Pride

Read:  Psalm 145 / Proverbs 01 / Isaiah 5 /Luke 18 

 

Psalm 145:18 ~ The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Proverbs 1:33 ~ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Isaiah 5:21 ~ Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 

Luke 18:11 ~ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 

 

To humble hearts, the Lord is near,

But He resists the heart of pride.

The problem that the Lord makes clear

Is arrogance He sees inside. 

 

The Pharisee who proudly prayed

Was wise in his own estimation. 

The humble publican displayed

A heart that yearned for God’s salvation.
