Sanctified and Sent

Read:  Psalm 114 / Proverbs 12 / Isaiah 60 / John 17

 

Psalm 114:2,7 ~ Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion… Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord.

Proverbs 12:3 ~ A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

Isaiah 60:1 ~ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

John 17:17,18 ~ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

 

When Pharaoh let God’s people go,

He thrust them out and did not tarry,

For he, at last, had come to know

That Judah was God’s sanctuary.

 

The earth has trembled with the fruit

That flourishes when hearts repent.

The Lord establishes the root

Of those He sanctified and sent.

Endless Praise for Enduring Peace

Read:  Psalm 113 / Proverbs 11 / Isaiah 59 / John 16

 

Psalm 113:3 ~ From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.

Proverbs 11:3 ~ The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Isaiah 59:19 ~ So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

John 16:33 ~ These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 

Each morning when the sun shall rise

And when the sun each night shall set,

Our endless praise still glorifies

The Savior we do not forget.

 

Let Christ receive our adoration

With gratitude that does not cease,

For even when there’s tribulation,

In Him we have enduring peace.

Harvest of Hope

Read:  Psalm 112 / Proverbs 10 / Isaiah 58 / John 15

 

Psalm 112:4 ~ Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion… righteous.

Proverbs 10:5 ~ He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Isaiah 58:8 ~ Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and… the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

John 15:22-24 ~ If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin… If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

 

The light in darkness shall arise

To all who call on Jesus’ name.

The harvest waits!  We lift our eyes

To hopeless souls for whom He came. 

 

Indeed, if Jesus had not come,

Then we would hopelessly be lost.

Let us by every means save some

As we proclaim salvation’s cost!

Scorn of Skeptics

 Read:  Psalm 111 / Proverbs 09 / Isaiah 57 / John 14

 

Psalm 111:10 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever.

Proverbs 9:10,12 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding… If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Isaiah 57:19,21 ~ I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near… and I will heal him… There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

John 14:27 ~ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

The fear of God that makes us wise

With understanding that He gives

Affirms that, though the body dies,

The human spirit ever lives.

 

The scorn of skeptics soon shall cease

When they shall stand before God’s throne. 

The only way to find God’s peace

Is found in trusting Christ alone.

Comprehending the Completion

Read:  Psalm 110 / Proverbs 08 / Isaiah 56 / John 13

 

Psalm 110:1 ~ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Proverbs 8:35,36 ~ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Isaiah 56:8 ~ The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

John 13:12 ~ So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

 

Our Lord sat down at God’s right hand

With Satan bruised beneath His feet. 

This was the triumph that He planned

By which salvation was complete.

 

As we rejoice in how it ended,

We hear our Savior ask anew

His question scarcely comprehended:

“Know ye what I have done to you?”

Adversary vs. Advocate

Read:  Psalm 109 / Proverbs 07 / Isaiah 55 / John 12

 

Psalm 109:30,31 ~ I will greatly praise the LORD… For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

Proverbs 7:24,27 ~ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth… Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Isaiah 55:6,7 ~ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near… for he will abundantly pardon.

John 12:31,32 ~ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

 

My adversary shouts his claim

As he demands my condemnation.

My Advocate (O praise His name!)

Declares He purchased my salvation.

 

The time to seek the Lord is here,

For He abundantly will pardon.

Beware, as judgment now draws near: 

The heart that will not turn will harden.

Declare His Word and Do His Will

Read:  Psalm 108 / Proverbs 06 / Isaiah 54 / John 11

 

Psalm 108:7,13 ~ God hath spoken… Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Proverbs 6:23 ~ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

Isaiah 54:13 ~ And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

John 11:39,40 ~ Take ye away the stone… Said I not… if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

 

Our God shall lead us in the strife;

Through Him we shall do valiantly.

His Word declares the way of life;

His truth defeats the enemy.

 

We should not hesitate when taught

To do His will which He makes known.

There should not be a second thought

When God has said to move the stone.
