Thankfully Viewing Their Vows

Read:  Psalm 56 / Proverbs 25 / 2 Kings 16 / Acts 27

 

Psalm 56:12,13 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death.

Proverbs 25:12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

2 Kings 16:2,20 Ahaz… did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD…and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

Acts 27:25,35 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me… And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God.

 

Give thanks on this Thanksgiving Day

For vows fulfilled at such a cost

When Christ our Savior died to pay

The ransom needed by the lost.

 

The vows of God are now in view

By which He gives us confidence.

Yet there are vows that we make too,

Which call for our obedience. 

 

We see this principle displayed

In godliness and grateful living,

Like Hezekiah who obeyed

And Paul who trusted with thanksgiving.
