Bring our Burden

Read:  Psalm 55 / Proverbs 30 / Isaiah 65 /Romans 5 

 

Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

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

Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Romans 5:5 The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 

We bring our burden to the Lord;

By Him our broken hearts are healed,

And thus, our souls shall be restored, 

For God Himself shall be our Shield. 

 

The Lord shall hear the earnest prayer;

His boundless love is shed abroad

In hearts that cast on Him their care

And have their confidence in God.

Persuaded by His Promises

Read:  Psalm 54 / Proverbs 29 / Isaiah 64 /Romans 4 

 

Psalm 54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God… what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Romans 4:20,21 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 

 

I am persuaded by God’s Word;

I trust the promises He made. 

By God Himself I am assured

There is no cause to be afraid.

 

Like Abraham, whose faith was strong

In promises that God foretold,

I know the Lord is never wrong,

So why then should I not be bold?

Rebels Redeemed

Read:  Psalm 53 / Proverbs 28 / Isaiah 63 /Romans 3

 

Psalm 53:2,3 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God… there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Proverbs 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Isaiah 63:7-10 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD… In all their affliction he was afflicted… in his love and in his pity, he redeemed them; and he bare them… But they rebelled.

Romans 3:23,24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.  

 

The Lord looked down to see who would

Be wise enough to seek His face. 

We all rebelled!  Not one was good,

Yet He redeemed us by His grace. 

 

How wonderful is His salvation

For rebels who had turned aside! 

Our sins demanded condemnation,

But by His grace, we’re justified.
