Pretentious Praise

Read:  Psalm 95 / Proverbs 27 / Genesis 26 / John 5 

 

Psalm 95:6-8 O come, let us worship and bow down… Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart.

Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend.

Genesis 26:3,5 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee… I sware unto Abraham thy father… Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge.

John 5:42 I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

 

A hardened heart may well pretend

To be sincere with songs of praise,

But God, who is our faithful Friend,

Exposes our pretentious ways. 

 

Because the Lord knows who I am

As well as who I ought to be,

I'll seek to live like Abraham,

The friend of God, obediently.
