"The Word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth" (Psalm 33:4). "The integrity of the upright shall guide them… and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:3,30). "The LORD said… the elder shall serve the younger… And Isaac trembled… and said… He [Jacob] shall be blessed" (Genesis 25:23; 27:33). "[Paul] reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews… [Apollos] mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was Christ" (Acts 18:4,28).
The
Word of God is surely right,
And
all His works are done in truth.
His
counsel is persuasive light
For
winning souls and training youth.
The
Lord gave His prophetic Word
And
said that Jacob would be blest.
Though
Isaac's thinking was obscured,
He
would, at last, to this attest.
Though
many Jewish minds were jaded,
Paul
reasoned with them, just the same,
As
from the Scriptures he persuaded
That
Jesus is the Christ who came.
May
this persuasive proclamation,
Lord,
by Your Spirit, make us bold
To
show the proof of Your salvation
Which
prophets clearly had foretold!
