Proverbs 3- Adorn Yourself With Wisdom

 Proverbs 3- Adorn Yourself With Wisdom

Hold fast to the Word

Keep everything it commands

God’s instructions will lengthen your life

Peace will be in your hand

Live faithfully to the covenant

Between God and man

May love and faithfulness never depart 

Trust in God’s plan

Jesus gives us straight paths 

If we learn to follow Him

Chase Christ with all your heart

Run to God with every limb

Wisdom is more precious than gold

More sterling than silver pieces 

Long life is in wisdom’s hands 

In her pleasantness never ceases

When you sleep, Wisdom will adorn you

Discretion will be life to your soul

You will walk ever surely

They will make your life whole

Do not envy those who choose strife

The ones who scorn others

Instead look to the humble man

For he is like a brother 

Proverbs 2- Evil Will Have No Avail

 Proverbs 2- Evil Will Have No Avail

Treasure up the Word of God

Store it in your heart

Make your ear attentive to wisdom 

This is the best place to start

Like an explorer looking for adventure 

Wisdom should be sought 

Search for it more than gold

It is something that cannot be bought 

God is the provider of wisdom

He stores up knowledge for the upright 

He shields those who walk in Him

Protecting us from the evil we fight 

When wisdom is heeded

Righteousness and justice prevail

Discretion will watch over you

Evil will have no avail

Deliver me from the forbidden woman

The lady who corrupts a young man’s ways

Help us walk in the way of good

In all we do and say 

Proverbs 1- Fear The Lord (Run! Run!)

 If the wisest man sat down at the table
What might he say?
Would he offer an intellectual insight
Or point you in the way?

His answer might surprise you 

His words will cause you to think

Out of his mouth comes truth

A well that we should drink

The beginning of knowledge 

Comes from fear of the Lord

This is not a party trick or gimmick

Or something to occupy us when we are bored

Take it in, breathe it out

do not forsake these words

Wear them as a graceful pendant

Stay far from the evil herd

Run! Run! Away from sinners

Hold your foot from their paths

For they are setting a trap for themselves

Soon to incur great wrath

When you heed God’s wisdom

He will pour out His spirit to you

His words will refresh your body

Reminding you what is true 

The choice is simple

Fear the Lord our King

Dwell securely with Him

So disaster will not sting 

A Liturgy For Sadness

A liturgy for sadness

Only What Christ Has Done 

When the seas are roaring

When the world brings trouble

Our Lord picks us up

Among the rubble 

The crying child

The forlorn wife

When will this end 

All of this strife

Yet Christ has surely come

As a beacon of shining light

His death on the cross

Proved His humble might

When you are lost pilgrim

Christ finds your way

No matter the trials

No matter the day 

Remember this troubled one

The present will become the past 

Only what Christ has done

Is the only thing that lasts 

Rise up sad one!

Take heart in the Lord today

Run in the sunshine

For God has the final say! 

Psalms For Psalms- Day 150

Psalms 150- Praise God With All You’ve Got

Over the years

I have been more convicted

To read God’s Word

My heart has been afflicted

These words are more than a story

Or something to write about

They are God breathed and helpful for life

In Christ I have no doubts

So in everything 

Praise God with all you’ve got!

Give him your heart and soul

For from the cross our sin was bought 

The Psalms point to something greater

Jesus Christ, our Savior and King

Merciful Father would we run after You

And hold fast to You while these Psalms we sing!

Psalms For Psalms- Day 149

Psalms 149- A New Song Shall Be Sung

A new song shall be sung 

One that extends to the heights

That seeps into the great depths

Praise the Lord in all His Might!

Praise Him today 

Praise Him tomorrow

Praise Him with Joy

Praise Him in sorrow 

God takes please in His children

Those who fear His name

Take heart all who come to the Father

For we can approach Him without shame

His Kingdom is made of the humble

For salvation adorns their hearts 

Exalt God in all things!

Praising Him is an honor to take part

Psalms For Psalms- Day 148

Psalms 148- Whether You Are 

Whether you are down low

Or standing on high

God is always to be praised 

He watches us with a careful eye

Whether you are a King or a pauper 

Man or maiden 

Praise the name of the Lord!

Who emptied the tomb He was laid in

Whether You are a saint or sinner

Troubled or overcome with delight 

God is the horn of our salvation 

He is our strength and might
