Hear and Heed Him

Read:  Psalm 32 / Proverbs 30 / Joshua 11 / Mat. 17

Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Joshua 11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

Matthew 17:5 Behold a voice out of the cloud... said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

The Lord shall give us His instruction

To make His way before us clear

And guard our hearts from sin's seduction,

Assuring us that He is near. 

We need to hear and heed God’s Son

In whom the Father has delight. 

Leave no command He gives undone;

Turn neither to the left nor right.  

Cause for Courage

Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Matthew 16:18 Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

By grace our courage shall increase

From Christ in answer to our prayers,

Receiving from Him perfect peace

And strength to turn from deadly snares. 

God’s people had no cause to fear;

God fought for them, and would not fail.

Christ made our cause for courage clear: 

The gates of hell shall not prevail.

The understanding that He gives

Belongs to those who to Him yield. 

The Lord, who cured the blind and lame,

With healing mercies, drew me near.

How graciously my Savior came

When He inclined to me His ear!
