God Gives Grace

Read:  Psalm 78 / Proverbs 29 / Deut. 27 / 1 Peter 5

 

Psalm 78:35-37 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. Nevertheless, they did flatter him with their mouth… For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

Proverbs 29:26 Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them… All the people shall say, Amen.

1 Peter 5:5 Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

 

In mere religion, people stumble

As superficial prayers are prayed,

But God is gracious to the humble

Who seek the Lord and find His aid.

 

The law, affirming God is holy,

Confirmed that we were cursed as well,

But God gives grace to save the lowly

Through Christ who rescues us from hell.
