Seeing Hope by Seeking Him

Read:  Psalm 42 / Proverbs 28 / 2 Chronicles 12 / 2 Tim. 2

Psalm 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?...hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Proverbs 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

2 Chronicles 12:14 And he [Rehoboam] did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

2 Timothy 2:19 The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

There is no cause to be cast down;

I'm seeing hope by seeking Him! 

His love the floods can never drown;

His light of truth does not grow dim. 

Upon this day I call to mind

The night I found in Christ salvation.   

By seeking Him, I daily find

His faithfulness is my foundation. 

46 years ago TODAY I received the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Hallelujah!  What a Savior! 

Inspired by Integrity

Read:  Psalm 41 / Proverbs 27 / 2 Chronicles 11 / 2 Tim. 1

Psalm 41:11-12 By this I know that thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity... before thy face forever.

Proverbs 27:11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

2 Chronicles 11:22-23 And Rehoboam...  desired many wives.

2 Timothy 1:7,13 God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...Hold fast the form of sound words... in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Inspired by integrity,

I am persuaded and inclined

To love the Lord who first loved me

With all my heart, my soul, and mind. 

So may I seek my Savior's pleasure

In all my thoughts, my words, and deeds

With grace He gives in perfect measure

Sufficiently for all my needs. 

Defended by Dying

Read:  Psalm 40 / Proverbs 26 / 2 Chronicles 10 / 1 Tim. 6

Psalm 40:2-3 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock... And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.

Proverbs 26:2 The curse causeless shall not come.

2 Chronicles 10:15 The cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

The horrible pit was so deep

From which we were rescued by Christ!

We all went astray just like sheep;

We all, by our sin, were enticed.

But Christ has defended our cause,

By dying for all who were cursed. 

The Lord satisfied His own laws;

His blessing cannot be reversed!
