Mighty and Merciful

Read:  Psalm 29 / Proverbs 18 / Job 37 / Revelation 22

 

Psalm 29:4 ~ The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

Proverbs 18:10 ~ The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Job 37:5 ~ God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

Revelation 22:17 ~ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

 

God’s mighty voice is powerful,

Yet He is merciful as well.

He is the Refuge of our soul

Who has delivered us from hell. 

 

His voice has thundered with His power

When judgment ushered forth His flood,

Yet grace protects us in His tower

And ransoms us with precious blood.

Deeds He Has Done

Read:  Psalm 28 / Proverbs 17 / Job 36 / Revelation 21

 

Psalm 28:1,5 ~ O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit… because they regard not the works of the LORD. 

Proverbs 17:16 ~ Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

Job 36:24 ~ Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

Revelation 21:6 ~ It is done…. I am Alpha and Omega… I will give… of the fountain of the water of life freely.

 

I need to hear and heed my Lord

So that my heart will not be hard,

Like those who blindly have ignored

His works that they will not regard. 

 

I’ll magnify the mighty deeds

That Christ my risen Lord has done.

The Lord alone could meet my needs;

There’s no one like Him; no, not one!

My Lord is My Light

Proverbs 16:6 ~ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

Job 35:10,11 ~ God my Maker… giveth songs in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 20:12,15 ~ I saw the dead… stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life… And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

The Lord is my light and salvation;

Of whom should I, then, be afraid?

He died for my justification,

For by Him my ransom was paid!

 

The songs in the night that He gives

Have lifted my eyes to His throne,

Proclaiming that Christ ever lives

To justify all of His own.

The Lord examines me with grace

And makes His counsel understood.

His searching eyes in every place

Behold the evil and the good. 

 

The Lord refines my heart’s desire

To purge my thoughts when they are flawed.

His eyes are like a flame of fire;

His name is called the Word of God.

Bold Behavior

Read:  Psalm 25 / Proverbs 14 / Job 33 / Revelation 18

 

Psalm 25:14 ~ The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Proverbs 14:26 ~ In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Revelation 18:4 ~ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

 

The secret of God’s saving grace

Is found when we have fled to Christ.

In Him we have a Hiding Place

Since He for us was sacrificed. 

 

We’ve found a ransom that was paid

By Christ our Refuge and our Savior!

Since He has said, “Be not afraid”,

Let us go forth with bold behavior.

And guides my feet upon His path

To live a life of grateful praise

For He has saved my soul from wrath.
