Bold Behavior

Read:  Psalm 25 / Proverbs 14 / Job 33 / Revelation 18

 

Psalm 25:14 ~ The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Proverbs 14:26 ~ In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Job 33:24,29,30 ~ I have found a ransom… Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, to bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

Revelation 18:4 ~ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

 

The secret of God’s saving grace

Is found when we have fled to Christ.

In Him we have a Hiding Place

Since He for us was sacrificed. 

 

We’ve found a ransom that was paid

By Christ our Refuge and our Savior!

Since He has said, “Be not afraid”,

Let us go forth with bold behavior.

Behold the Lamb, the Lord of love

Who died to save us from our sins! 

 

The Lamb and Lord, the King of kings,

Shall overcome His foes in war

When He returns and with Him brings

The saints He saved forevermore.

And guides my feet upon His path

To live a life of grateful praise

For He has saved my soul from wrath.

We are His new-born generation!

 

The Lord has called us to be wise

By winning souls with godly fear,

For every living person dies

And judgment day is drawing near.

Trusted and Triumphant

We would be hopeless, helpless, halted

Without the strength of God’s salvation.

Let Christ be trusted and exalted,

Triumphant in each situation.

 

The Lord preserved us in the past,

And by His light He led the way,

So let us fear the Lord at last,

For He is faithful every day.

(Like chariots that turn to dust),

It’s wise to fear the Lord today. 

 

The coming of the Lord draws near,

So let us walk with understanding. 

Let everyone with ears to hear

Obey what Jesus is commanding.

Right Way in the Revealed Word

Psalm 19:8,14 The statutes of the LORD are right… Let the words of my mouth… be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD.

Job 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

In every single situation

The statutes of the Lord are right.

So therein let our meditation

And words be pleasing in His sight.

 

We speak the truth that God revealed

Which He commands us now to teach.

The words He gave are not concealed;

They are the Gospel that we preach.

Psalm 18:1 ~ I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress… my high tower.

Proverbs 7:1 ~ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Job 26:13,14 ~ By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Revelation 11:17 ~ We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

 

I love the Lord, and rightly so!

He is my Rock and my high Tower.

By His prophetic plan I know

His truth, His faithfulness, and power.

 

But who can understand His power

By which He garnished all creation?

Yet greater still, He planned the hour

That He would purchase our salvation!

His Wings and His Word

Revelation 10:11 ~ And he said… Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

I’m trusting Christ, the King of kings,

Who rescued me from condemnation.

I’m safely kept beneath His wings

And counseled by His conversation.

 

The Lord, by whom I’m justified,

Equips me to proclaim His Word

By showing what He prophesied,  

Just as He promised, has occurred.

Laughter turns to Lamentation

Read:  Psalm 16 / Proverbs 5 / Job 24 / Revelation 9

 

Psalm 16:4 ~ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god.

Proverbs 5:7-9 ~ Hear me now therefore… lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel.

Job 24:25 ~ And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Revelation 9:21 ~ Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 

Their sorrows shall be multiplied

Who will not have the Savior rule.

How sadly this is verified

When years are given to the cruel.

 

If hearts surrender to the Lord, 

The Lord imparts to them salvation.

If God’s instruction is ignored,

Their laughter turns to lamentation.

Refines and Revives

When with our Savior we abide,

We walk according to His way.

When on His pathway we are tried,

Our Lord refines us day by day.

 

Our prayers arise before His throne

As He inclines His ear to hear,

And in our trials He has shown

That He revives us and is near.

Laud the Lamb

Read:  Psalm 14 / Proverbs 3 / Job 22 / Revelation 7

 

Psalm 14:2,3 ~ The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Proverbs 3:34 ~ Surely, he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Job 22:21 ~ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Revelation 7:9,10 ~ I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations… cried… Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

 

The Lord looked down from heaven’s throne

To see if any understood. 

He has concluded and made known

That all have sinned; not one is good. 

 

Though mockers, as foretold, will scorn

The warning of their condemnation,

The meek by grace shall be reborn

And laud the Lamb for their salvation.

That waited for us in the grave. 

 

We have cause for celebration! 

“Come, see the place,” as angels said,

Where He who died for our salvation

Is raised, as promised, from the dead!

Preserved by God forevermore.

Upon the Savior we adore.

 

This Book in times of deep distress

Holds promises that cannot fail,

And therefore we find quietness,

Assured that Jesus shall prevail.
