Peace and Pain

Read:  Psalm 38 / Proverbs 7 / 1 Kings 20 / Acts 9 

 

Psalm 38:15,22 ~ In thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Proverbs 7:2 ~ Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

1 Kings 20:28 ~ Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Acts 9:22 ~ Saul increased… in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is… Christ.

 

The Lord will hear us when we pray;

Our hope in Him is not in vain.

We need to trust Him and obey

In times of peace as well as pain. 

 

The Lord is God of all the hills;

He’s Lord of all the valleys too.

This is the faith that God instills

By proving that His Word is true.

Daily Delight

Read:  Psalm 37 / Proverbs 6 / 1 Kings 19 / Acts 8

 

Psalm 37:3,4 ~ Trust in the LORD… do good… Delight thyself also in the LORD… he shall give… the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 6:20-22 ~ My son, keep thy father's commandment… When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

1 Kings 19:12 ~ And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Acts 8:29,35 ~ The Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot… and [he] preached unto him Jesus.

 

When we delight and trust in God,

He gives to us our heart’s desire,

He guides us with His staff and rod,

And leads us upward, ever higher.

 

We listen for His still small voice,

As daily we delight to hear it,

And thus revived, our hearts rejoice

As we are led forth by His Spirit.

Still Stiffnecked

Read:  Psalm 36 / Proverbs 5 / 1 Kings 18 / Acts 7

 

Psalm 36:9 ~ For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Proverbs 5:21 ~ For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

1 Kings 18:21 ~ How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.

Acts 7:51 ~ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers… so do ye.

 

The fountain of God’s life imparts

His light that shows us what is true. 

The Lord is pondering our hearts;

There’s nothing hidden from His view.

 

In spite of overwhelming proof,

The truth of God is still dismissed

By stiffnecked hearts that stand aloof

Against the Lord whom they resist.

His Word and His Way

I hear my gracious Savior say

That He alone is my salvation.

His Word instructs me in His way

In every path and situation.

 

His truth is guiding my behavior,

Informing what I say and do

To show the way of Christ my Savior

That demonstrates His Word is true.

Scriptures and Skeptics

Read:  Psalm 34 / Proverbs 3 / 1 Kings 16 / Acts 5

 

Psalm 34:3 ~ O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Proverbs 3:26 ~ For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

1 Kings 16:34 ~ Hiel the Beth-elite [did] build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

Acts 5:20 ~ Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

 

Let Jesus Christ be magnified

As we exalt His precious name. 

Our Lord, whose Word is true and tried,

Fulfilled the Scriptures when He came.

 

Prophetic truth is on display,

Fulfilling every promise spoken.

No matter what the skeptics say,

The Scriptures never can be broken.

None other Name

Read:  Psalm 33 / Proverbs 2 / 1 Kings 15 / Acts 4

 

Psalm 33:4,18 ~ The word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth… Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy.

Proverbs 2:6-8 ~ The LORD giveth wisdom… knowledge and understanding… and preserveth the way of his saints.

1 Kings 15:11 ~ Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 

Acts 4:12 ~ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 

The Word of God is always right;

His truth exposes what is wrong.

Christ Jesus is the world’s Light,

Our Strength, Salvation, and our Song.

 

There is a Savior heaven gave

So greatly needed among men.

None other name but Christ can save,

By whom we must be born again.

The Consequence that Comes

Read:  Psalm 32 / Proverbs 1 / 1 Kings 14 / Acts 3 

 

Psalm 32:8 ~ I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

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

1 Kings 14:9,10 ~ But hast done evil above all that were before thee… Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon… Jeroboam.

Acts 3:19 ~ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

 

The Lord instructs us every day

To walk according to His will.

Though we are prone to go astray

Our Savior guards and guides us still. 

 

The self-inflicted consequence

Of choosing not to trust the Lord

Deprives us of our Lord’s defense

When evil comes which was ignored.
