Vitality of our Vows

Read:  Psalm 131 / Proverbs 10 / Numbers 30  / 1 Peter 4

Psalm 131:1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul... he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
1 Peter 4:3,11 The time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles... If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Our vows have found vitality,
Not in our self-determination,
But in the truth that makes us free
To serve the God of our salvation.

It is the blessing of the Lord
That turns us from our former ways
By grace He daily will afford
To live a life that gives Him praise.
