Prudent Person

Read:  Psalm 83 / Proverbs 22 / 1 Chronicles 18 / 1 Corinthians 10

 

Psalm 83:16,18 ~ Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name… that men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

Proverbs 22:3,4 ~ A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.

1 Chronicles 18:14 ~ So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

1 Corinthians 10:32,33 ~ Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles… that they may be saved.

 

If Christ our Savior never came,

We would not have a second birth. 

Our faces would be filled with shame

When we departed from this earth.

 

A prudent person will foresee

The fast-approaching condemnation.

No wonder we are called to flee

To Christ who purchased our salvation!
