Stand Strong

Read:  Psalm 7 / Proverbs 14 / Ezekiel 1 /1 Cor. 16

 

Psalm 7:15,17 ~ He… is fallen into the ditch which he made… I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Proverbs 14:29 ~ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Ezekiel 1:28 ~ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain… This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

1 Corinthians 16:13,14 ~ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith… be strong. Let all… things be done with charity.

 

The one who digs a ditch shall fall

Into the pit that he has made, 

For God is ruling over all,

Whose judgment thereby is displayed.

 

The Lord shall write the final story,

And He at last shall right each wrong.

Do all in love.  Advance His glory. 

Be slow to wrath.  Stand fast.  Be strong!

No other riches can compare.

 

The crown has fallen from the head

Of every sinner: woe to us!

But Christ is risen from the dead:

Through Him we are victorious!

Each day until my life’s conclusion.

Though health and wealth at last grow dim,

My Savior leads without confusion.

Focused on His Faithfulness

Psalm 4:4 ~ Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

The Lord commands us to be still

And stand in awe of what He’s done.

When we are focused on His will,

We look for souls that may be won.

 

We hear the sinner’s daily scorning;

We see this world’s passing fashion.

Yet God is faithful every morning

To set our hope on His compassion.

Appointed for the Anointed

Psalm 2:1,2 ~ Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?... against the LORD, and against His Anointed.

Proverbs 9:5 ~ Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Lamentations 1:12 ~ Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

1 Corinthians 11:26 ~ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

 

Why would the nations rage in vain

Against the Lord and His Anointed?

It was for our eternal gain

That Christ endured what was appointed.

 

It was for love!  Christ died for all! 

We ponder Him with bread and wine.

The Man of Sorrows we recall

Has called us now to come and dine.

Though darkness once had been our prison,

The light has come!  We are set free!

Our Shepherd Jesus Christ is risen

Who dines with us continually.
