Prudent Trust in Prophetic Truth

Read:  Psalm 125 / Proverbs 13 / Jer. 26 / Acts 28

 

Psalm 125:1 ~ They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.

Proverbs 13:14 ~ The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Jeremiah 26:15 ~ Of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.

Acts 28:29 ~ And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

 

The hearts that trust in God the Lord

Shall not be moved, like Zion’s Mountain,

And like a living spring outpoured,

The fear of God shall be a fountain. 

 

Prophetic truth is therefore brought

To sinners in this present season

That they may prudently give thought

To trusting Jesus for good reason.

Hope for Heavy Hearts

Read:  Psalm 124 / Proverbs 12 / Jer. 25 / Acts 27

 

Psalm 124:2,5 ~ If it had not been the LORD who was on our side… then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Proverbs 12:25 ~ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Jeremiah 25:7,11 ~ Ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD… to your own hurt… these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Acts 27:25 ~ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

 

If God had not been on our side,

We would have drowned in condemnation,

But for our sake the Savior died

To rescue us with His salvation. 

 

Though heavy hearts regret the years

In sin’s captivity they spent,

By grace our Savior comforts, cheers,

And saves the sinners who repent.

Lost and Loud

Read:  Psalm 123 / Proverbs 11 / Jer. 24 / Acts 26

 

Psalm 123:4 ~ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Proverbs 11:29 ~ He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Jeremiah 24:7 ~ I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Acts 26:24 ~ Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

 

Though we are weary of the scorning

Of those who with contempt are proud,

We should not cease to give them warning,

For they are lost, though they be loud.

 

Let rebels hear the Savior’s voice,

Receiving Him as their Defense,

For God extends to all this choice

And saves the sinner who repents.

Psalm 122:6 ~ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

We pray for the enduring peace

That Christ the Prince of Peace shall bring. 

His government shall never cease;

Jerusalem shall praise her King.

 

He is THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

To whom we prayerfully appeal.

To Him shall every tongue confess,

And every knee to Him shall kneel.

Justified by Jesus

Psalm 121:1,2 ~ I will lift up mine eyes… from whence cometh my help…. from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

We lift our eyes to God above

Who made the heaven and the earth.

We marvel at His wondrous love

And thank Him for our second birth.

 

We preach the Gospel He revealed

In Scripture clearly prophesied,

For Jesus has become our Shield,

And by Him we are justified.

Truth Testified

Psalm 120:2 ~ Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Acts 23:11 ~ And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

 

The Lord has rescued us from lies;

His word of truth is always right.

There is no other voice so wise

That shows the way of life and light.

 

The Lord is standing by our side

Assuring us that He is near,

So let us who have testified

Still witness boldly, loud and clear.

Witness of His Word

Psalm 119:176 ~ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

God knows that we are prone to stray

And turn aside from His commands,

Yet by His Word He guides our way

As He upholds us with His hands. 

 

Let us give thanks for His defense

And for the witness of His Word,

As we declare with confidence 

The Gospel truth that we have heard.
