Declare vs. Decline

Read:  Psalm 106 / Proverbs 7 / Genesis 37 / John 16 

 

Psalm 106:2,47 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?... Save us, O LORD our God… to give thanks… and to triumph in thy praise.

Proverbs 7:24,25 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children… Let not thine heart decline… go not astray.

Genesis 37:10,11 Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 

There is no limit we can find

Of praise to God we may declare,

Yet if our first love has declined,

Let us be honest and beware! 

 

Let us observe what God has spoken

In times of peace or tribulation,

For not one promise shall be broken

Of Christ’s prophetic declaration.
