"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" (Proverbs 13:20). "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24,25).
Walking with wise men will make a man wise;
Companions of fools walk on to destruction.
Let these two extremes clearly open our eyes
And open our ears to receive God's instruction.
Our God has thus purposed to stir our desire,
That we may provoke one another to love,
By fanning the flame of our fellowship's fire
In view of our Savior's return from above.
O Lord, we give thanks for Your presence today
Wherever there gathers a few in Your name.
How good and how pleasant it is when we pray
And worship, recalling why our Savior came.
Teach us, O Lord, in Your own presence first,
To stir our own fires of worship and thanks
To satisfy deeply from You our own thirst,
And thereby encourage our fellowship's ranks!
