Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD… Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Isaiah 44:24-28 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer… I am the LORD… that saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Acts 12:21-24 Herod… sat upon his throne… and immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory... But the word of God grew and multiplied.
The Lord has never been mistaken:
His bones, as promised, were not broken.
Our faith therefore should not be shaken,
For God fulfills what He has spoken.
Recalling Cyrus who was cited
A century before his birth,
We look ahead, still more delighted
In Christ who comes to rule the earth!
