Ready to Reason

Read:  Psalm 45 / Proverbs 31 / 2 Chronicles 15 / Titus 1

Psalm 45:1,2,11 My heart is indicting a good matter: I speak of the things... touching the king: my tongue is the pen a ready writer... for He is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

Proverbs 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

2 Chronicles 15:15 They had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.

Titus 1:2,9 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began... Be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 

Be ready to speak for our King

With evidence rightly explored. 

The Gospel of Christ that we bring

Will save those who trust in the Lord. 

Be ready to reason with those

For whom Christ our Savior has died,

For as He had promised, He rose;

His promise could not be denied!  

Boast Be Banned

Read:  Psalm 44 / Proverbs 30 / 2 Chronicles 14 / 2 Tim. 4

Psalm 44:4,8 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob...  In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

Proverbs 30:4-5 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?... What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

2 Chronicles 14:11 LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude... let not man prevail against thee.

2 Timothy 4:7,18 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith... And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 

Let every boast be banned but one: 

We glorify our God and Savior,

Who saved us when we were undone

And died to grant us saving favor.

How wondrously the Lord our God

Accomplished all that He had planned! 

We boast in Christ, whom we applaud;

Let every other boast be banned!  

Led by His Light

Read:  Psalm 43 / Proverbs 29 / 2 Chronicles 13 / 2 Tim. 3

Psalm 43:3,4 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill... to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy.

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

2 Chronicles 13:18 The children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

2 Timothy 3:1,7,15 In the last days perilous times shall come... ever learning... never able to come to the knowledge of the truth... The holy scriptures... are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The Lord has led me by His light

To bring me to His holy hill. 

His cross, the altar, fills my sight;

A vision that arrests me still.

My heart relies on Christ alone

To save my soul from condemnation. 

The Holy Scriptures make this known;

He is the Light of my salvation.
