Truest Treasure

Read:  Psalm 85 / Proverbs 13 / Isaiah 31 / Luke 12

 

Psalm 85:8 ~ I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Proverbs 13:8 ~ The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

Isaiah 31:6 ~ Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

Luke 12:34 ~ Where your treasure is, there will your heart be.

 

We’ve heard what God the Lord has spoken;

To grant us peace has been His pleasure.

His promises are never broken;

In Christ we’ve found our Truest Treasure.

 

What joy this gives to us who find

The ransom that has made us His! 

Our Savior gives us peace of mind,

For He is where our Treasure is.

Counselors of Christ

Read:  Psalm 84 / Proverbs 12 / Isaiah 30 / Luke 11

 

Psalm 84:11 ~ For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Proverbs 12:20 ~ Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.

Isaiah 30:21 ~ Thine ears shall hear… This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand… when ye turn to the left.

Luke 11:21,22 ~ When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh… his spoils.

 

The Lord is both a Sun and Shield

Who gives to us His grace and glory

As Christ our Savior is revealed

Within the Gospel’s wondrous story.

 

Since we are counselors of peace,

We dare not wait a moment longer,

For lies unchallenged shall increase,

But evidence from Christ is stronger.

Forbid Silence amid False Science

Read:  Psalm 83 / Proverbs 11 / Isaiah 29 / Luke 10

 

Psalm 83:1,18 ~ Keep not thou silence, O God… and be not still, O God… that men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth.

Proverbs 11:9 ~ An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Isaiah 29:16 ~ Shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? Or… say of him… He had no understanding?

Luke 10:2 ~ The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

 

There is no time for silence now

While people perish for a lie.

The hypocrites at last shall bow,

Yet now by falsehood, people die. 

 

Though evolutionary schools

Declare that God does not exist,

Good science shall refute the fools

And prove the Gospel they resist.

Plant and Plow

Read:  Psalm 82 / Proverbs 10 / Isaiah 28 / Luke 9

 

Psalm 82:5 ~ They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Proverbs 10:5 ~ He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Isaiah 28:24-29 ~ Doth the plowman plow all day to sow?... God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him… This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

Luke 9:62 ~ Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

 

Deception has destroyed the land

Corrupting all the earth’s foundation

As souls refuse to understand

Their need to flee from condemnation.

 

Yet Christ our Savior came to save

The sinners who receive Him now.

We plant the Gospel seed He gave;

We dare not sleep when we should plow.

Honest Humble Hearts

Read:  Psalm 81 / Proverbs 9 / Isaiah 27 / Luke 8

 

Psalm 81:15 ~ The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him… their time should have endured forever.

Proverbs 9:12 ~ If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Isaiah 27:4,5 ~ Fury is not in me: who would set… against me in battle?... Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

Luke 8:15 ~ But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

 

The haters of the Lord shall find

They did not do themselves a favor

By scorning with a hardened mind

And not submitting to the Savior. 

 

Before they die, they have a choice:

For God extends His peace today

To honest hearts that hear His voice

And humbly seek Him while they may.

Perfect Peace

Read:  Psalm 80 / Proverbs 8 / Isaiah 26 / Luke 7

 

Psalm 80:17 ~ Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 

Proverbs 8:35 ~ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.

Isaiah 26:3,4 ~ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee… Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

Luke 7:16 ~ They glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

Behold the Man whom God made strong

To thus extend His saving favor.

To Him we sing our grateful song

And magnify Him as our Savior.

 

He fills our heart with perfect peace

As we have pondered His salvation.

His tender mercies never cease;

He is our Cause for celebration!

Standing in the Storms

Read:  Psalm 79 / Proverbs 7 / Isaiah 25 / Luke 6

 

Psalm 79:9 ~ Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name… and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

Proverbs 7:24 ~ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Isaiah 25:4 ~ For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm.

Luke 6:47,48 ~ Whosoever… heareth my sayings, and doeth them… is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and … the flood arose…  and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

 

The God of our salvation came

To purge the sins we could not hide.

He is a Shield from our shame,

Our refuge in the rising tide.

 

Though storms will come, and floods arise,

The house we build on rock yet stands.

So, likewise Christ declares them wise

Who hear and DO what He commands.
