Cause for Consolation

Read:  Psalm 68 / Proverbs 14 / Hosea 2 / Hebrews 6

 

Psalm 68:19,20 ~ Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation… and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

Proverbs 14:27 ~ The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Hosea 2:23 ~ And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Hebrews 6:18,19 ~ It was impossible for God to lie; we… have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us… as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast…which entereth into that within the veil.

 

The benefits of our salvation

Are daily loaded like a mountain

Which give us cause for consolation

With joy that rises like a fountain. 

 

For we who hopelessly were lost

Are now God’s people by His grace,

For Jesus paid redemption’s cost

And made Himself our Hiding Place!

His Way and His Wealth

Read:  Psalm 67 / Proverbs 13 / Hosea 1 / Hebrews 5

 

Psalm 67:1,2 ~ God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

Proverbs 13:8,17 ~ The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke… A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

Hosea 1:10 ~ It shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Hebrews 5:9,10 ~ He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec.

 

May God be merciful to us

And show His way and saving health

Through Christ who was victorious

And gave to us eternal wealth.

 

We now are rich, who once were poor,

For Jesus ransomed us from sin.

Behold, He’s standing at the door

To save those who will let Him in!

Word of Warning

Read:  Psalm 66 / Proverbs 12 / Daniel 12 / Hebrews 4

 

Psalm 66:5,16 Come and see the works of God… Come and hear… and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Proverbs 12:5,20 The thoughts of the righteous are right…  Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.

Daniel 12:2,3 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine… that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

Hebrews 4:7,12 Again, he limiteth a certain day… as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts… For the word of God is… sharper than any two-edged sword.

 

We warn the lost to come and see

The works of God in all the earth,

For we can say with certainty

That death comes shortly after birth. 

 

But Christ is risen from the grave

Who sends us forth with His report

That He stands at the door to save:

Receive Him now, for life is short.

Praise as we Proclaim

Read:  Psalm 65 / Proverbs 11 / Daniel 11 / Hebrews 3 

 

Psalm 65:1-3 Praise waiteth for thee… O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all… come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

Proverbs 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Daniel 11:3,45 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will… yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Our praise ascends to heaven’s throne

To Jesus Christ with adoration

As we proclaim that He alone

Could purge our sins with His salvation.

 

Though kings extend their brief dominion,

Our Lord shall reign eternally.

Though fools declare their false opinion,

The Gospel truth has made us free.

He is the Hero

Psalm 64:10 ~ The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Proverbs 10:2 ~ Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Daniel 10:12,21 ~ Fear not, Daniel… thy words were heard… I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth.

Hebrews 2:3,9,10 ~ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation… But we see Jesus… crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

 

Our righteousness is from the Lord;

To Jesus Christ be all the glory!

Forever He shall be adored;

He is the Hero of our story! 

 

The Scripture’s truth from age to age

Exalts our Captain of salvation

As we see Jesus on each page

Who is our Cause for celebration.

Supplication for Salvation

Read:  Psalm 63 / Proverbs 9 / Daniel 9 / Hebrews 1

 

Psalm 63:1,2 ~ O God… my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory… as… in the sanctuary.

Proverbs 9:10 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Daniel 9:23,26 ~ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved… After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself.

Hebrews 1:3 ~ Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

 

The land wherein we walk is cursed

And every well therein is dry,

But Jesus satisfies our thirst,

For to this end, He came to die.

 

When Daniel made his supplication,

Messiah’s glory then was shown

Who was cut off for our salvation

And then ascended to His throne.

Kindness of our King

Psalm 62:7 ~ In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Proverbs 8:35 ~ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.

Daniel 8:23,25 ~ A king of fierce countenance… understanding dark sentences, shall stand up… he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Philemon 17,18 ~ Receive him as myself. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account.

 

In Christ our King is our salvation.

Behold the kindness of our Savior!

He rescued us from condemnation

By dying to extend His favor.

 

A king against Him yet shall stand,

But he will not be standing long,

For he’ll be broken without hand;

Our King is kind, yet He is strong.
