Proven Proclamation

Read:  Psalm 119:137-144 / Proverbs 8 / Exodus 17 / Acts 25

 

Psalm 119:142 ~ Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 

Proverbs 8:6 ~ Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Exodus 17:6 ~ Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.

Acts 25:7 ~ The Jews… stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

 

The truth is proven; God has spoken. 

His Gospel is our proclamation.

The Scriptures never have been broken

Which have foretold His great salvation. 

 

The rock which was by Moses smitten

Foreshadowed Christ, who for us died. 

His prophecies were clearly written

And, by fulfillment, verified.

Proverbs 7:1 ~ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Our hearts are thereby satisfied.

There is the clear and present need

To demonstrate His Word is true.  

 

Our strength, our song, and our salvation

The time has come to make Him known!

Arise with Adoration

As fire puts away the dross,

I would have perished, but for grace!

For me my Lord endured the cross

To thus become my Hiding Place.

 

Stand still and see His great salvation!

Arise, my soul, no longer wait

To praise your Lord with adoration

And gratitude for love so great!

His Word and His Will

God’s Word is guiding my behavior

And giving me an inclination

To follow Jesus Christ my Savior

Who rescued me with His salvation. 

 

A cloud by day, a flame by night,

Led forth God’s people in His way. 

His word and will are still my light

Which shines upon my path today.

Separation from Salvation

Read:  Psalm 119:89-96 / Proverbs 2 / Exodus 11 / Acts 19

 

Psalm 119:94 ~ I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

Proverbs 2:3-5 ~ Yea, if thou criest after knowledge… If thou seekest her as silver… Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Exodus 11:7 ~ That ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

Acts 19:20 ~ So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

 

The Lord has saved us; we are His. 

We know the truth in all He said. 

His Word declares what was, what is,

And what shall be in days ahead. 

 

There is a wall of separation

Between the ransomed and the lost.

How far removed from God’s salvation

Are those indifferent to its cost!
