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.

Pleasures in His Presence

Psalm 16:11 ~ Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Proverbs 23:26 ~ My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

2 Corinthians 9:15 ~ Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

 

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.

Grateful to our God

Read:  Psalm 15 / Proverbs 22 / Ezekiel 9 /2 Cor. 8 

 

Psalm 15:1,2 ~ LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Proverbs 22:19 ~ That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

Ezekiel 9:4 ~ And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city… and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations.

2 Corinthians 8:9,24 ~ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich…Wherefore shew ye… the proof of your love.

 

When we are grateful to our God,

We walk uprightly with the Lord,

Regardless of who counts it odd

When Christ our Savior is adored. 

 

Since Jesus came for our defense

When He descended from above,

We ought to show the evidence 

Of our sincere and grateful love.

Near and Now

Read:  Psalm 14 / Proverbs 21 / Ezekiel 8 /2 Cor. 7

 

Psalm 14:4 ~ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as bread and call not upon the LORD.

Proverbs 21:2 ~ Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Ezekiel 8:9 ~ And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

2 Corinthians 7:1 ~ Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

The workers of iniquity

Oppose our Savior without fear

And thereby choose their destiny

As judgment day is drawing near.

 

The day approaches, nonetheless,

When every knee to Christ shall bow.

Let us be cleansed from filthiness

By worshiping our Savior now.
