LAW & GOSPEL

The law by which God rules us, is as dear to Him as the Gospel by which He saves us. ---- William Secker.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. YOU shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7).

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: Blest Are the Undefiled (Isaac Watts, 1719).

DUST

"Lord, what is man?" Take him in his four elements, of earth, air, fire, and water. In the earth, he is as fleeting dust; in the air, he is as a dissappearing vapour; in the water, he is as a breaking bubble; and in the fire, he is as a consuming smoke. --- Wiliam Secker

 

Dust: Then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life... (Genesis 2:7).

Gratitude

A grateful mind is both a great and happy mind. ---- William Secker

 

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people. Remember His marvelous works that He has done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth; for He remembered His holy promise...and He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen with gladness...  Praise ye the LORD (Psalm 105:1-43, 45a).

 

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: Let Us Praise God Together: "Let us praise God together, let us praise; let us praise God together all our days. He is faithful in all His ways, He is worthy of all our praise, His name be exalted on high." -----(James E. Seddon, 1982)
