My Lord is My Light

Read:  Psalm 27 / Proverbs 16 / Job 35 / Revelation 20

 

Psalm 27:1 ~ The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Proverbs 16:6 ~ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

Job 35:10,11 ~ God my Maker… giveth songs in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 20:12,15 ~ I saw the dead… stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life… And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

The Lord is my light and salvation;

Of whom should I, then, be afraid?

He died for my justification,

For by Him my ransom was paid!

 

The songs in the night that He gives

Have lifted my eyes to His throne,

Proclaiming that Christ ever lives

To justify all of His own.

Examined by His Eyes

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.

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.

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.

When He returns and with Him brings

And guides my feet upon His path

To live a life of grateful praise

For He has saved my soul from wrath.

We are His new-born generation!

 

The Lord has called us to be wise

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.
