Examined by His Eyes

Read:  Psalm 26 / Proverbs 15 / Job 34 / Revelation 19

 

Psalm 26:2 ~ Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Proverbs 15:3 ~ The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Job 34:31-32 ~ It is meet to be said unto God… That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

Revelation 19:11-13 ~ And behold… He… was called Faithful and True… His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns… and his name is called The Word of God.

 

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.

Job 33:24,29,30 ~ I have found a ransom… Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, to bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

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.

Behold the Lamb, the Lord of love

Who died to save us from our sins! 

 

The Lamb and Lord, the King of kings,

Shall overcome His foes in war

When He returns and with Him brings

The saints He saved forevermore.

To live a life of grateful praise

For He has saved my soul from wrath.

By winning souls with godly fear,

For every living person dies

And judgment day is drawing near.

Trusted and Triumphant

Read:  Psalm 21 / Proverbs 10 / Job 29 / Revelation 14

 

Psalm 21:13 ~ Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Proverbs 10:29 ~ The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

We would be hopeless, helpless, halted

Without the strength of God’s salvation.

Let Christ be trusted and exalted,

Triumphant in each situation.

 

The Lord preserved us in the past,

And by His light He led the way,

So let us fear the Lord at last,

For He is faithful every day.

His Coming and His Commanding

Read:  Psalm 20 / Proverbs 9 / Job 28 / Revelation 13

 

Psalm 20:7 ~ Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Though some may be inclined to trust

The things that soon will pass away

(Like chariots that turn to dust),

It’s wise to fear the Lord today. 

 

The coming of the Lord draws near,

So let us walk with understanding. 

Let everyone with ears to hear

Obey what Jesus is commanding.
