Goodness of God

Read:  Psalm 52 / Proverbs 29 / Ezekiel 46 / 1 Tim. 4

 

Psalm 52:1,4 ~ Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually… Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Proverbs 29:25 ~ The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Ezekiel 46:15 ~ Prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.

1 Timothy 4:16 ~ Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

 

My God is faithful every hour;

I know His goodness does not cease.

In contrast, Satan would devour

My hope and rob me of my peace.

 

My Savior’s Word supplies my need

As I continue day and night

To hear His counsel and take heed

To turn not to the left or right.

Passover made Plain

Read:  Psalm 51 / Proverbs 28 / Ezekiel 45 / 1 Tim. 3

 

Psalm 51:7,10 ~ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow… Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

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

Ezekiel 45:21 ~ In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

1 Timothy 3:16 ~ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

 

 

The hyssop that made David clean

Referred to Christ, our Paschal Lamb,

The promised Seed who was foreseen

Who would descend from Abraham.

 

Our great Passover Lamb was slain

That sinners might be justified.

The mystery is thus made plain:

To ransom rebels, Jesus died.

Messianic Mediator

Read:  Psalm 50 / Proverbs 27 / Ezekiel 44 / 1 Tim. 2

 

Psalm 50:5,14 ~ Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice… Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High.

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

Ezekiel 44:27,28 ~ He… shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance… I am their possession.

1 Timothy 2:5,6 ~ For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

 

We gather round our great Creator

To thank Him for His sacrifice.

Our Messianic Mediator

Has ransomed us at such a price!

 

As we consider this great treasure

That makes the Savior our Possession,

We ought to live to give Him pleasure

Since Jesus died for our transgression.

My Savior and My Story

Psalm 49:5,15 ~ Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil?... But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave.

Proverbs 26:2,10 ~ The curse causeless shall not come… The great God that formed all things… rewardeth transgressors.  

Ezekiel 43:2,3 ~ Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came… the earth shined with his glory… and I fell upon my face.

1 Timothy 1:14,15 ~ And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.

Hebrews 9:27 ~And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

 

It seems astonishing to say

That there’s no cause for me to fear

As I approach the judgment day

When I shall with the Lord appear.

 

The prophets fell upon their face,

Yet I shall stand before His glory,

For Christ redeemed me by His grace!

This is my Savior and my story.

Messengers who Measure

Read:  Psalm 48 / Proverbs 25 / Ezekiel 42 / 2 Thes. 3

 

Psalm 48:9-13 ~ We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple… Walk about Zion… Mark ye well her bulwarks… that ye may tell it to the generation following.

Proverbs 25:12,13 ~ As an earring of gold… so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear… so is a faithful messenger.

Ezekiel 42:15 ~ Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 ~ But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

 

We search the depths of God’s great love

As we are guided by His Word

With God’s perspective, far above

What eyes have seen and ears have heard.

 

As messengers we hold the treasure

Of God’s prophetic truth unveiled

With faithfulness that we can measure:

His promises have never failed.

Kindred King

Psalm 47:7 ~ For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

2 Thessalonians 2:14 ~ Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Let all creation be explored

With understanding as we sing: 

Behold the Man, our Kindred Lord!

Behold the Lion, Christ our King!

 

We see His glory on display

Engraved on walls which tell His story

As Man and Lion which portray

The Gospel of our Savior’s glory.

Worship and Warn

Read:  Psalm 46 / Proverbs 23 / Ezekiel 40 / 2 Thes. 1

 

Psalm 46:10 ~ Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Proverbs 23:17,18 ~ Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Ezekiel 40:4 ~ Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee… declare all that thou seest.

2 Thessalonians 1:10 ~ When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

The Lord commands us to be still

And contemplate the end of things,

Since Christ is God and surely will

Be worshiped as the King of kings.

 

So let this be our declaration

That hearts may seek Him while they may

As we proclaim His great salvation

And warn as well of judgment day.
