Place for Pleading

Read:  Psalm 115 / Proverbs 11 / Job 16 /Matthew 11

Psalm 115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Job 16:21,22 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!  When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

There is a time and place for pleading
For heaven's intervening favor.  
It's not OUR glory we are needing;
It’s time to glorify our Savior! 

The need for praying now is clear  
That we, by all means, may win some
As God is drawing sinners near 
To heed our Savior's call to come.
