Staggered or Strong

Read:  Psalm 119:137-144 / Proverbs 12 / 1 Kings 11 / Romans 4

 

Psalm 119:140,141 ~ Thy word is very pure... thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

Proverbs 12:26 ~ The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

1 Kings 11:4 ~ It came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as... David his father.

Romans 4:20,21 ~ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

 

Though I am small and am despised,

The Word of God is very pure. 

The mockers all shall be surprised: 

God's Word forever shall endure! 

 

Beware, therefore, of the seduction

That Solomon had staggered in,

Which in the end was his destruction 

When faith, once strong, gave in to sin.
