Communicate His Compassion

Read:  Psalm 134 / Proverbs 31 / 2 Kings 8 / 1 Cor. 7

Psalm 134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

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

2 Kings 8:4 The king talked with Gehazi... saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

1 Corinthians 7:29-31 But this I say, brethren, the time is short...  for the fashion of this world passeth away.

The Lord and Maker of creation

Has called us to communicate

The offer of His great salvation

To souls before it is too late. 

We tell the great things God has done

That show His mercy and compassion.

The time is short!  Now let us run,

For earth is passing with its fashion.  

Go Tell the Good Tidings!

Read:  Psalm 133 / Proverbs 30 / 2 Kings 7 / 1 Cor. 6

Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Proverbs 30:4,5 Who hath ascended up... or descended? … He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

2 Kings 7:9 We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace... Now… go… tell the king's household.

1 Corinthians 6:20 Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit.

How good and pleasant we have found

The blessings flowing from our Savior

Who came from heaven to be crowned

With thorns to grant us saving favor.

How can we hold our peace today

With such good tidings we should tell? 

We are redeemed!  If we delay

To preach the truth, we do not well! 

Leaving out the Leaven

Read:  Psalm 132 / Proverbs 29 / 2 Kings 6 / 1 Cor. 5

Psalm 132:8,14 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength... This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Proverbs 29:26 Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

2 Kings 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:

In every place that leaven is

(Which is a symbol of our pride),  

The Lord is robbed of what is His,

For there His Lordship is denied. 

So let us join the host of heaven

To worship Christ, the great I AM,

As we are leaving out the leaven

And glorifying Christ the Lamb!
