Read: Psalm 141 / Proverbs 27 / Isaiah 1 /Luke 14
Psalm 141:5 ~ Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head.
Proverbs 27:5,6 ~ Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
Isaiah 1:18 ~ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Luke 14:8,9,43 ~ Sit not down in the highest room… a more honorable than thou… Give this Man place… whosoever… forsaketh not all that he hath… cannot be my disciple.
May God forbid us by His grace
To sit with pride or stand aloof,
For Christ deserves the highest place
As we are humbled by reproof.
So come now, let us rightly reason
So that our hearts may be restored
To honor Christ in every season
As our Redeemer and our Lord.
