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.

Follow through the Fires

Read:  Psalm 78 / Proverbs 6 / Isaiah 24 / Luke 5

 

Psalm 78:41 ~ Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

Proverbs 6:23 ~ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

Isaiah 24:15 ~ Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

Luke 5:10 ~ And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

 

The Lord’s provision does not lack;

There is no cause to limit Christ.

He’s kept our hearts from turning back

With grace that always has sufficed.

 

The Lord will lead us through the fires,

So let us glorify Him then

As He refines our heart’s desires

To follow Him and fish for men.

Wisdom's Worth

Read:  Psalm 77 / Proverbs 5 / Isaiah 23 / Luke 4

 

Psalm 77:13 ~ Who is so great a God as our God?

Proverbs 5:1 ~ My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.

Isaiah 23:1,9 ~ The burden of Tyre… for it is laid waste… The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory.

Luke 4:18,19 ~ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me… to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

 

With whom shall we compare the Lord

As we consider wisdom’s worth?

In every place we have explored,

There’s none like Him in all the earth!

 

The Lord shall therefore stain the pride

Of all who will not seize the day

To find in Christ a place to hide

By seeking Him, while yet they may.
