To Ponder and To Praise

Read:  Psalm 22 / Proverbs 29 / Ezekiel 16 / Galatians 2

 

Psalm 22:1,26 ~ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?...  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever.

Proverbs 29:1 ~ He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Ezekiel 16:61 ~ Thou shalt remember thy ways and be ashamed.

Galatians 2:20 ~ I am crucified with Christ… I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

 

No greater questions can be taken

For me to ponder and explain

Than these: Why was my Lord forsaken,

And why would He endure such pain?

 

There was no other remedy

To cleanse away my sin and shame!

It was for love Christ died for me,

So I will live to praise His name.

Glorify my God

Read:  Psalm 21 / Proverbs 28 / Ezekiel 15 /Galatians 1

 

Psalm 21:1 ~ The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Proverbs 28:26 ~ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Ezekiel 15:2 ~ Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Galatians 1:23,24 ~ But they had heard only, that he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me.

 

I have a reason to rejoice

In God’s salvation and His rule

As I reject the other choice

To trust my own heart as a fool.

 

I’m bearing fruit through Christ the Vine;

He leads me with His staff and rod.

Since I am His and He is mine,

I choose to glorify my God.

Triune Truth

Read:  Psalm 20 / Proverbs 27 / Ezekiel 14 /2 Cor. 13

 

Psalm 20:7 ~ Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Proverbs 27:11 ~ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

Ezekiel 14:3 ~ Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

2 Corinthians 13:14 ~ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

 

We’re trusting in our Savior’s name,

Though fools reproach His reputation

As Satan seeks to thus defame

The triune God of our salvation.

 

The truth is saving those who hear it

With grace received from Christ above,

Persuaded by the Holy Spirit

And rescued by the Father’s love.

Find His Favor

Read:  Psalm 19 / Proverbs 26 / Ezekiel 13 /2 Cor. 12

 

Psalm 19:7,9 ~ The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple… the judgments… are true and righteous altogether.

Proverbs 26:10 ~ The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

Ezekiel 13:3 ~ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

2 Corinthians 12:9 ~ He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

 

God’s law is perfect, making wise

The sinner who was once a fool. 

Yet those exchanging truth for lies

Reject the wisdom of God’s rule.

 

Though fools forsake the Hiding Place

That God provides through Christ our Savior,

There is sufficient saving grace

For all who seek and find His favor.

Tried and True

Read:  Psalm 18 / Proverbs 25 / Ezekiel 12 /2 Cor. 11

 

Psalm 18:30 ~ As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Proverbs 25:12 ~ As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Ezekiel 12:28 ~ There shall none of my words be prolonged… the word… I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

2 Corinthians 11:3 ~ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 

God’s Word is true and verified,

So that our trust in Him is strong. 

As silver in a furnace tried,

God always proves the doubter wrong.

 

The Lord will do what He has said;

All those who trust Him, find Him true. 

Beware, for if we doubt instead,

The truth is hidden from our view.

Weapons of our Warfare

Read:  Psalm 17 / Proverbs 24 / Ezekiel 11 /2 Cor. 10

 

Psalm 17:8 ~ Keep me… under the shadow of thy wings.

Proverbs 24:14-16 ~ So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul… a reward, and thy… resting place… For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.

2 Corinthians 10:4,5 ~ Weapons of our warfare are… mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds… bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

 

Enlisted by the King of kings,

We put His armor on to fight.

Beneath the shadow of His wings

He leads us forth to shine His light.

 

The Lord examines every thought,

And this is where the battle rages.

The weapons of our warfare fought

Are found throughout the Scripture’s pages.

The Lord has shown to me the path

Of life that’s filled with joy and treasures

Where in His presence is no wrath

And, at His right hand, endless pleasures. 

 

We’ll see our Savior face to face;

His beauty shall delight our soul.

We’ll thank Him for His saving grace

And for His Gift Unspeakable.
