Defeat of Deceit

Read:  Psalm 132 / Proverbs 12 / 1 Samuel 19 / Mark 14

 

Psalm 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David.

Proverbs 12:5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

1 Samuel 19:6 Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

Mark 14:27,28 All ye shall be offended…  for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered… But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

 

The Lord has surely spoken right

Against the darkness of deceit.

The Word of God has shined His light,

And liars thus have met defeat.

 

God’s promises were all that mattered,

When David faced his many foes,

And though Christ’s followers were scattered,

They boldly spoke when Jesus rose.
