25 January 2014 - The Names of God (part two)

“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords”
He is “mighty and awesome”, showing no partiality to the hordes
“He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow”
That is what Deuteronomy 10 verses 17 and 18 show
“How majestic is your name in all the earth”, David did state
In both the first verse and the last one of Psalm eight
If someone confesses “Jesus is Lord” from their heart
Romans ten says that God has already done His part
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
For God richly blesses both Jew and Gentile, Paul raved
Colossians two says to continue to live in Christ as Lord
Overflowing with thankfulness that faith in Him does accord

Psalm forty six starts with “God is our refuge and strength”
It then talks about His power over the earth at some length
Psalm ninety two says to praise the Lord, O Most High
And to proclaim His love and faithfulness to the sky
Verse four says “for [He] makes me glad by [His] deeds”
“How great are [His] works”, verse five then proceeds

Ecclesiastes chapter twelve verses one through seven
Talk about the earth’s one God, who resides in heaven
 “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth”
“Before the days of trouble come”, that is the truth

Isaiah forty asked why Israel continued to complain
Thinking that its cause was looked at with disdain
“The Lord is the everlasting God” is what they should know
And, per verse twenty eight, tired and weary He will not grow
For “He gives strength to the weary” and also helps the weak
“They will soar on wings like eagles” if the Lord they do seek
In First Timothy one verses fifteen to seventeen, Paul did say
He was shown mercy so unlimited patience Jesus could display
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible” God in heaven
Paul proclaims “be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen”

Psalm 22 says that God “was enthroned as the Holy One
David said his ancestors were saved by what God had done
From Proverbs nine these sage words do come
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”
In Luke four, there was a man possessed by a demon
Even he knew that Jesus of Nazareth was the Holy One

“The Lord reigns forever”…on “his throne of judgment”
Psalm nine says justice and righteousness are His intent
“Rise up, O Judge of the earth” requests Psalm ninety four
“Pay back to the proud what they deserve” and more
In Isaiah chapter eleven verses one through five
Prophesied about when Jesus would come alive
“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him” in many a way
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, power every day
He will judge with righteousness, not by what He hears
Relying on his pure heart rather than His eyes or His ears
“For the Lord is our judge” says Psalm thirty three
As our king, He will save us, as we so often see
