Surrender to the Savior

Read:  Psalm 140 / Proverbs 2 / Leviticus 2 / 1 Corinthians 6

 

 Psalm 140:7 ~ O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 

Proverbs 2:7 ~ He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 

Leviticus 2:11,13 ~ Ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire… And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt.

1 Corinthians 6:19,20 ~ Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost… Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 

 

My head is covered by the Lord;

He is my Savior and my Shield.

The Word of God has been my sword

By which the Gospel is revealed. 

 

Sometimes the battle is within

As Jesus calls me to surrender. 

Awake, my soul! Be done with sin

To live for Christ, your soul’s Defender!

Pondering our Passover

Read:  Psalm 139 / Proverbs 1 / Leviticus 1 / 1 Corinthians 5

 

Psalm 139:17,18 ~ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!… They are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Proverbs 1:32,33 ~ For the turning away of the simple shall slay them… But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely. 

Leviticus 1:17 ~ A burnt sacrifice [is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.

1 Corinthians 5:7 ~ Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.

 

The thoughts of God convey His will

Expounded in His precious Word.

When we awake, He’s speaking still

As we have pondered what we’ve heard.

 

We think of Jesus sacrificed; 

How could the Lord have given more?

Our great Passover, Jesus Christ,

We ponder still, and we adore!

Perfecting and Protecting

Read:  Psalm 138 / Proverbs 31 / Exodus 40 / 1 Corinthians 4

 

Psalm 138:7,8 ~ Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me.

Proverbs 31:2 ~ What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

Exodus 40:38 ~ For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

1 Corinthians 4:4 ~ For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

 

The Lord is perfecting us now

With goodness and mercy each day

As He is performing His vow,

Protecting us all of the way.  

 

God led with a cloud and a fire

When guiding His own to their land,

And still He makes known His desire,

Correcting us by His command.

The Gospel songs we gladly sing

Amid this land where darkness looms

To sinners marching to their tombs.

 

Let Gospel truth be understood

By every means that souls may hear it! 

Our songs proclaim that God is good

As we are led forth by His Spirit.

We know Why

Read:  Psalm 136 / Proverbs 29 / Exodus 38 / 1 Corinthians 2

 

Psalm 136:1,23,24 ~ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever… Who remembered us in our low estate… and hath redeemed us from our enemies.

Proverbs 29:18 ~ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Exodus 38:22 ~ Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

1 Corinthians 2:16 ~ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

 

Give thanks to God for His decision

To rescue us from sin and shame! 

Now by His Word, He gives us vision

To see the reason Jesus came. 

 

The patterns seen in Exodus

Portrayed our Savior sacrificed.

We know why Jesus died for us,

For we have seen the mind of Christ.

Memorial of His Mercy

Read:  Psalm 135 / Proverbs 28 / Exodus 37 / 1 Corinthians 1 

 

Psalm 135:13 ~ Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

Proverbs 28:13 ~ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Exodus 37:8 ~ One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

1 Corinthians 1:30,31 ~ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

 

We see the great memorial

Of mercy in our Lord’s salvation

Through types that were prophetical,

Displayed to every generation. 

 

The mercy seat which we recall,

With cherubim on either side,   

Portrayed redemption once for all,

Fulfilled when Christ our Savior died.

Science Scripture Salvation

Read:  Psalm 134 / Proverbs 27 / Exodus 36 / Romans 16

 

Psalm 134:2,3 ~ Lift up your hands… and bless the LORD.  The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Proverbs 27:1 ~ Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Exodus 36:6 ~ And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

Romans 16:25,26 ~ The revelation of the mystery… was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets… made known to all nations.

 

Let us arise to bless the Lord

As we behold what He has made. 

When SCIENCE rightly is explored,

We see His majesty displayed. 

 

The time has come (for time is short)

For us to show the revelation

Of Jesus Christ as we report

The truth of SCRIPTURE and SALVATION.
