Christ Still the Corner Stone

Read:  Psalm 4 / Proverbs 4 / 2 Samuel 10 / Luke 20

 

Psalm 4:4 ~ Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Proverbs 4:11 ~ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

2 Samuel 10:12 ~ Be of good courage… for our people… for… our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

Luke 20:17 ~ What is this… written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

 

Behold the Lord, and stand in awe,

For He delivered us from wrath,

He satisfied His holy law,

And leads us in His righteous path.

 

We find our courage in His Word

By every promise He makes known

As we are certainly assured

That Christ is still the Corner Stone.

Kindness of my King

Read:  Psalm 3 / Proverbs 3 / 2 Samuel 9 / Luke 19

 

Psalm 3:3 ~ But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

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

2 Samuel 9:7,13 ~ And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness…  So Mephibosheth… did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

Luke 19:10 ~ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

 

The King of Glory is my Shield;

He is the Lifter of my head, 

For by His stripes I have been healed,

And at His table, I am fed. 

 

With kindness He has spread His table;

My King has covered all the cost.

He lifted me, for He is able

Because He died to save the lost.

Preserved as we Pray

Read:  Psalm 2 / Proverbs 2 / 2 Samuel 8 / Luke 18

 

Psalm 2:11 ~ Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Proverbs 2:5,8 ~ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God… He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

2 Samuel 8:14,15 ~ The LORD preserved David… And David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

Luke 18:1 ~ And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

 

We’re called to serve the Lord with fear

And glorify Him as we should.

We see Christ’s coming drawing near,

As signs foretold are understood.

 

King David prayed for God’s defense,

And God preserved him every day.

So let this be our confidence

As we are called to watch and pray.

Choosing what we Cherish

Read:  Psalm 1 / Proverbs 1 / 2 Samuel 7 / Luke 17

 

Psalm 1:6 ~ The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Proverbs 1:32,33 ~ For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely.

2 Samuel 7:28 ~ O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true… Thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant.

Luke 17:32,33 ~ Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

 

God shows the way we ought to cherish;

This is the path of His salvation.

He shows the way of those who perish;

This is the path of condemnation. 

 

We reap the harvest that we choose:

God sets before us death and life. 

How much the sinner has to lose! 

Recall the ruin of Lot’s wife.
