Remembrance of His Redemption

Read:  Psalm 72 / Proverbs 4 / Genesis 3 / Luke 6

 

Psalm 72:18,19 ~ Blessed be the LORD… who only doeth wondrous things… blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Proverbs 4:18 ~ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Genesis 3:15 ~ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Luke 6:5 ~ The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.

 

The Lord alone does wondrous things;

Let all the earth proclaim His glory!

Remembrance of His mercy brings

To light His great redemption’s story.  

 

Yes, even Eden’s Garden scene,

So darkened then with condemnation,

Foresaw that Christ would intervene

And would be bruised for our salvation!

Prudent Prayer

Read:  Psalm 71 / Proverbs 3 / Genesis 2 / Luke 5

 

Psalm 71:14 ~ But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Proverbs 3:34 ~ Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Genesis 2:16-17 ~ Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…  in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ‘

Luke 5:10 ~ And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

 

The Lord has made our choices plain. 

Though some choose what He will abhor

And scorn the grace that they could gain,

We’re called to praise Him more and more. 

 

The choice in Eden brought despair

And robbed their souls of innocence,

But God still hears the prudent prayer

From every sinner who repents.

Wealth of His Word

Read:  Psalm 70 / Proverbs 2 / Genesis 1 / Luke 4

 

Psalm 70:5 ~ But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer… make no tarrying.

Proverbs 2:3-5 ~ Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding… as for hid treasures… then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Genesis 1:3 ~ God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Luke 4:4 ~ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

 

Because I know that I am poor,

I cry to God who meets my needs. 

His Word gives wealth that I explore

With light whereby He safely leads. 

 

The God whose Word brought forth creation

Now daily makes His wisdom known. 

I need my Lord’s communication:

I cannot live by bread alone!

Borrowed Breath

Psalm 69:30,32 ~ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving... your heart shall live that seek God.

Proverbs 1:7 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Malachi 4:2 ~ But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.

I’ll praise my Savior with a song

And magnify Him with thanksgiving. 

The Lord has led me all year long;

I’ll walk with Him while I am living.

 

I’ll fear the Lord, the King of kings,

And seek Him with each borrowed breath,

For there is healing in His wings

With life that rescued me from death.
