Cherish the Choice

Read:  Psalm 2 / Proverbs 31 / Deuteronomy 15 / Rev. 9 

Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

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

Deuteronomy 15:15 Thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman...  and the LORD thy God redeemed thee.

Revelation 9:6 Men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 

We cherish the choice that God gave

To worship the Son with a kiss,

Who came, as He promised, to save

Our souls from the hopeless abyss. 

We've chosen God's offer of grace,

And now we're proclaiming His favor: 

From wrath there is no hiding place

Apart from Christ Jesus our Savior.  

Sanctified Silence

Read:  Psalm 1 / Proverbs 30 / Deuteronomy 14 / Rev. 8

Psalm 1:1,2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Proverbs 30:5,32 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him... If thou... lifting up thyself... hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Deuteronomy 14:2 Thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God... a peculiar people... above all the nations.   

Revelation 8:1,4 There was silence in heaven... the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

Let every thought be sanctified

By meditation on God's Word

To still the scornful voice of pride   

And wicked counsel we have heard.  

We are a people set apart;

Our deepest thoughts to God are known.

Let heaven's silence stir our heart

To lift our prayers up to His throne. 

Prevail with Praise

Read:  Psalm 150 / Proverbs 29 / Deuteronomy 13 / Rev. 7

Psalm 150:1,2,6 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness...Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD.

Proverbs 29:25,26 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

Deuteronomy 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Revelation 7:9-12 A great multitude... cried... Salvation to our God... and unto the Lamb... Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.

I'll praise the Lord for all His power

And for His triumph over death. 

Let Christ be magnified each hour

As long as He shall give me breath.

The fear of man would make me frail,

But trusting God gives confidence.

By faith in Christ I shall prevail 

With grateful praise for His defense.
