Righteous Ruler

Read:  Psalm 119:137-144 / Proverbs 26 / 1 Sam. 2 / Mat. 25  

 

Psalm 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Proverbs 26:5,28 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit… A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

1 Samuel 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

 

The righteous God to us has spoken

According to His perfect rule. 

His absolutes are never broken,

Though disregarded by the fool. 

 

By God our actions all are weighed.

Beware of lies and flattery! 

Remember that our Savior paid

The awful price that makes us free.
