Tabernacle Truth

Read:  Psalm 43 / Proverbs 20 / Ezekiel 37 / 1 Thes. 3

 

Psalm 43:3 ~ Send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Proverbs 20:24 ~ Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

Ezekiel 37:27 ~ My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 ~ To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

 

By Gospel truth we have been led 

To view the cost we could not pay,

For Jesus suffered in our stead

Because there was no other way.

 

The tabernacle of the Lord

Is now with those He justified.

No wonder Jesus is adored

By His redeemed, for whom He died!

Shall be our comfort all day long,

And in the night, our prayer outpoured

Is heard by God who gives His song.

 

The Lord is searching us within 

To cleanse our hearts and our behavior

So we may be allowed to win

The souls who need to trust our Savior.

Refuge of His Reputation

Psalm 41:11 ~ By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

Ezekiel 35:13 ~ Thus… ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

1 Thessalonians 1:9,10 ~ Ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

 

By this I know God favors me

As He upholds me with His power:

He is my Refuge where I flee;

His reputation is my tower.

 

Though foes may yet be multiplied,

I’ll trust the safety Christ shall give,

For by His death I’m justified,

And by His life I also live.

The wondrous works that God has done

And gracious thoughts He has revealed

Regarding God’s beloved Son

I have declared and not concealed. 

 

To children’s children I will speak

And thereby feed my Savior’s flocks.

I’ll call upon the lost to seek

The Lord while at the door He knocks.

My hope is in the Lord alone

By whom iniquity was purged.

I’m living now to make Him known,

Persuading those whom I have urged.

 

I’ll tell them of my Savior’s love

Who paid our ransom by His death.

I’ll set my heart on things above

As long as He shall give me breath.

The Lord of our salvation hears

The prayer of those who flee from terror.

The proud shall perish in their error. 

 

We triumph in the Lord’s defense

Who spoiled principalities.

In Christ we have our confidence

Who conquered all our enemies.

The wicked, like a green bay tree,

Shall pass away and not be found.

Fret not, for soon they shall not be,

Though for a moment they are crowned.

 

Like Pharaoh and his multitude

Who had inspired confidence,

By judgment they shall be pursued,

And Christ shall have preeminence.
