Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. (Luke 3:38)
The Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? (Gen. 3:9)
Am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. (Luke 15:19)
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. (2 Cor. 5:19)
Will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Cor. 6:18)
No wrath God’s heart retaineth
   To usward who believe;
No dread in ours remaineth
   As we His love receive;
Returning sons He kisses,
   And with His robe invests;
His perfect love dismisses
   All terror from our breasts.

He sat on her knees till noon, and then died. And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. (2 Kings 4:20‑21)

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. (Psa. 61:2)
When hopes have failed, and heavy sadness
      crushes,
   And doubt and fear would weave their
      deadly spell,
Then thought of Thee my troubled spirit hushes,
   And all is well.
Then, then I know Thee, Lord of highest heaven;
   In newborn need discover Thee, and find
Nought can discomfort him to whom is given
   A quiet mind.

Let the might of Thine instruction
   Go with every loving word;
And by hearts prepared and opened
   Be our message always heard!

Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? (Matt. 3:7)
Said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. (Rev. 6:16)
Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thess. 1:10)
What, oh what, can you do?
   Where, oh where, can you fly?
Eternal wrath hangs o’er your head,
   And judgment lingers nigh.
Faith is the way to life;
   Believe in Christ and live;
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
   And peace with God receive.

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? (2 Peter 3:10‑11)
Ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (1 Thess. 5:4‑5)
We go to meet the Savior,
   His glorious face to see;
What manner of behavior
   Does with this hope agree?
May God’s illumination
   Guide heart and walk aright;
That so our preparation
   Be pleasing in His sight.

Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: and let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned. (Ruth 2:15‑17)
So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest. (Ruth 2:23)
Oh may Thy Spirit guide our souls,
   And mold them to Thy will,
That from Thy paths we ne’er may stray,
   But keep Thy precepts still!
Oh largely give, ’tis all Thy own,
   The Spirit’s goodly fruit:
Praise, issuing forth in life, alone
   Our living Lord can suit.

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all. (1 Chron. 29:11)
O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He hath done marvelous things: His right hand, and His holy arm, hath gotten Him the victory. (Psa. 98:1)
Thy victories and Thine endless fame
   Through the wide world shall run,
And everlasting ages sing
   The triumphs Thou hast won.
How blest are we, who have a part
   In the immortal song;
Wonder and joy become our heart,
   And praise and thanks, our tongue.

At God’s right hand in heaven:
Wisdom and riches, power divine,
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine —
All things to Thee are given.

But they are open ways to Him.
Lord, grant to me a quiet mind,
That trusting Thee — I’ll always find —
I may go on without a fear,
For Thou, my Lord, art always near.

Only a step at a time,
With His hand in thine —
   His will you’ll not mistake.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Matt. 19:24‑26)
Call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. Who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 11:13‑14,17)
Thousands have fled to His spear-pierced side:
All have been welcomed, and none are denied;
Weary and laden, they all have been blest;
Joyfully now in the Savior they rest.
Come then to Jesus, no longer delay;
Come to the Savior; come now while you may;
So shall your peace be eternally sure;
So shall your happiness ever endure.

Why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Rom. 14:10,12)
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Cor. 5:10)
Only one life, yes only one,
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in “that day” my Lord to meet,
And stand before His judgment seat —
And when at last I’ll hear the call,
I know I’ll say “’twas worth it all”;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past;
Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. (Matt. 18:21‑22)
If they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. (Eccl. 4:10)
Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. (Rom. 14:4)
I have a friend so precious,
   So very dear to me!
He loves me with such tender love;
   He loves so faithfully.
Sometimes I’m faint and weary;
   He knows that I am weak,
And as He bids me lean on Him,
   His help I gladly seek.

He prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray Thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest Thee of the evil. (Jonah 4:2)
His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord. (Psa. 117:2)
As debtors to mercy alone,
   Of heavenly mercy we sing;
Nor fear to draw near to the throne,
   Our person and offerings to bring.
Unchangeable, Thy gracious love
   Our earthly path has ceaseless viewed;
Ere knew our beating heart to move,
   Thy tender mercies still pursued.

I will raise Me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in Mine heart and in My mind: and I will build Him a sure house; and He shall walk before Mine anointed forever. (1 Sam. 2:35)
Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands; for if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Heb. 9:11,13‑14)
The holiest we enter
   In perfect peace with God,
Through whom we found our center,
   In Jesus and His blood.

He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. For He performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with Him. (Job 23:10,14)
The vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make. (Jer. 18:4)
To be conformed to the image of His Son. (Rom. 8:29)
Not a trace of the earth, nor mark of the clay;
The fires of the furnace have burned them away;
Wondrous skill of the Potter — the praise is His
   due —
In whose hands to perfection and beauty it grew;
Thus with souls lying still, content in God’s
   hand,
That do not His power of working withstand,
They are molded and fitted, a treasure to hold;
Vile clay now transformed into purest of gold.

I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. (Jer. 3:15)
David went and returned … to feed his father’s sheep. (1 Sam. 17:15)
Good Shepherd, over whom no foe prevaileth,
   To whom the least of wandering lambs is
      known,
Grant me Thy love that wearieth not nor
      faileth;
   Grant me to seek Thy wayward sheep that
      roam.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
   I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto Me: your morn shall rise
   And all your day be bright;
I looked to Jesus, and I found
   In Him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk
   Till traveling days are done.

And Christ be King forever —

Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. (2 Kings 4:10)
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him. (John 12:1‑2)
To walk with God, oh fellowship divine!
Man’s highest state on earth — Lord, be it mine!
With Thee, may I a close communion hold;
To Thee, the deep recesses of my heart unfold.
Washed in Thy blood, from all my guilt made
   clean,
In Thee, my righteousness, alone I’m seen;
Thy home my home — Thy God and Father
   mine!
Dead to the world — my life is hid with Thine.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. (Job 23:12)

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste. (Prov. 24:13)
Words unutterable He speaketh,
   Words that none can tell;
Yet, O Lord, Thy wondrous secret
   Knows my heart full well.
I, in wonder and in silence,
   Listen and adore,
While the heart of God He tells me —
   While my cup runs o’er.

Eternal love: Give me today, tomorrow,

Our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. (Num. 32:17)
Today we come and fall before Thy face;

Establish, O Lord, our hearts with Thy grace;
   Help us, O Lord, to never lose our way.
And save our children — Lord, we come to Thee,
   Nor can we rest till they are gathered in;
Oh save them lest they wander carelessly;
   Preserve and keep them from the power of sin.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Prov. 14:12)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life. (Matt. 7:13‑14)
There the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore. (Psa. 133:3)
Listen — thine’s a lost condition,
   Guilty too before thy God;
In thy folly thou hast wandered,
   Broad the road thy feet have trod.
Come at once, thy way forsaking,
   Own thy sins with all their shame,
Claim God’s pardon, full, eternal,
   Now believing in His name.

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. (Phil. 1:20)
What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (Phil. 3:7)
“A little while” — ’twill soon be past;
Why should we shun the promised cross?
Oh let us in His footsteps haste,
Counting for Him all else but loss!
For how will recompense His smile,
The sufferings of this “little while.”

When the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. (2 Kings 6:15‑17)
For every tribulation,
   For every sore distress,

And now what glory in Thine unveiled face!
Thou didst attract the wretched and the
   weak,
Thy joy the wanderers and the lost to seek.

Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. (2 Chron. 20:15)
Dearly, beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Rom. 12:19‑20)
He goes before you, O my heart!
Through deepest depth, o’er highest height;
He knows where lurks the ambushed foe
And what the battles you must fight;
He sees the pitfalls you will meet,
The place where you will faint or fall;
The weariness, the pain, the tears —
He goes before; He knows it all.

Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. (Acts 27:3)
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not. (Prov. 27:10)
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. (Prov. 27:17)
Call him a friend who laughs with you
   When laughter is your choice,
Who drinks the rose-wreathed cup with

   When bidden to rejoice.
Both joy and sadness share with me
   When pleasure fails your need;
Your burden let me bear with you
   And crown me friend indeed.
