He is the Hero

Read:  Psalm 64 / Proverbs 10 / Daniel 10 / Hebrews 2

 

Psalm 64:10 ~ The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Proverbs 10:2 ~ Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Daniel 10:12,21 ~ Fear not, Daniel… thy words were heard… I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth.

Hebrews 2:3,9,10 ~ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation… But we see Jesus… crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

 

Our righteousness is from the Lord;

To Jesus Christ be all the glory!

Forever He shall be adored;

He is the Hero of our story! 

 

The Scripture’s truth from age to age

Exalts our Captain of salvation

As we see Jesus on each page

Who is our Cause for celebration.

Supplication for Salvation

Read:  Psalm 63 / Proverbs 9 / Daniel 9 / Hebrews 1

 

Psalm 63:1,2 ~ O God… my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory… as… in the sanctuary.

Proverbs 9:10 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Daniel 9:23,26 ~ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved… After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself.

Hebrews 1:3 ~ Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

 

The land wherein we walk is cursed

And every well therein is dry,

But Jesus satisfies our thirst,

For to this end, He came to die.

 

When Daniel made his supplication,

Messiah’s glory then was shown

Who was cut off for our salvation

And then ascended to His throne.

In Christ our King is our salvation.

Behold the kindness of our Savior!

He rescued us from condemnation

By dying to extend His favor.

 

A king against Him yet shall stand,

But he will not be standing long,

For he’ll be broken without hand;

Our King is kind, yet He is strong.

As I recall He is my Rock.

 

Now in this high and lofty place

My heart is set on things above,

As I behold my King of grace,

His kindness, and His boundless love!

Friend who cannot Fail

Defending us who cannot fail.

There is no friend like Jesus Christ

Who rescued Daniel from his foes,

Who for our sake was sacrificed

And who prevailed when He rose.

Providing as Promised

Psalm 59:9,17 ~ Because of his strength will I wait upon thee… for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.

The enemy is strong indeed,

But God is infinitely greater

Who is providing all we need

As our Defender and Creator.

 

Though circumstances may seem daunting,

The hand of God that gives each breath

Extends His grace that’s never wanting,

As promised both in life and death.

Chance for Choosing Christ

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 4 / Daniel 4 / 2 Timothy 4

 

Psalm 58:3-5 ~ The wicked… go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Proverbs 4:19 ~ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Daniel 4:37 ~ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment… those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 ~ Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season… For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

Like serpents which are never charmed,

The wicked choose to stop their ear.

They think that they will not be harmed

By blind indifference without fear.

 

The chance for choosing Christ is brief,

And every soul shall find this out. 

The time is short for unbelief,

For hell shall soon remove all doubt.
