I worship the Lord in my heart and soul. May we be as Hezekiah, and go to the Lord God first. Our nation and leaders need to know the Savior and cling to the promises of the Lord God. In these troubled times were are in; the Lord Jesus Christ is our only answer, comfort, peace and joy. Psalms 98

"King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be

Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.

Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary."

Thank you faithful saints for your additional insights to our declaring of the provisions and promises of our God and Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. May we be humble and mindful of our leaders, the lost, and back slidden people to find the salvation of the Lord before they enter into eternity without Christ.

May we stand fast in the promises and commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ. May His face shine brightly upon all who has trusted in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank You Father for answering our cries and needs as You see fit in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Interesting that you bring up Hezekiah, the LORD several times put that name in my thoughts. In 2 Chronicles 28:27 - 2 Chronicles 29, 30, 31, Hezekiah did much good. 2 Chronicle 32:30,

I felt a warning also about being like Hezekiah. In 2 Kings 18:16 , Hezekiah "cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars._.' & gave it to the king of Assyira" I asked myself was it to save the people from war? Was it fear? Either way all that sacrifice & peace offering didn't stop the evil nor the attacks. 2 Kings 18:17-32, they even used that against Hezekiah when they mocked. 2 Kings 18:22, 2 Kings 18:29-30, 2 Chronicle 32, Isaiah 36:7-22,

Then Hezekiah came to Isaiah 2 Kings 19:1-5, & sought-after the LORD 2Kings 19:14-16,

Another warning I felt 2 Kings 20:12-18,

& 2Kings 20:19, he seemed unconcerned about the bad consequences Hezekiah himself had caused to his own offspring. 2 Chronicles 32:25-26, 2 Chronicles 32:27,

Hopefully these speak deeper to you as they did me. GOD help us * not give what is HOLY & sanctified to GOD over to enemies, * that we won't cause bad consequences to future generations, * that we will care about future generations & not life ourselves too highly with treasure. Remember Isaiah 1:23, Exodus 32:8, Deuteronomy 16:19,

Except receive the Gifts of GOD: 1 Corinthians 12, & 13

Hopefully this is welcome insight from my study.

Yes, I pray we go to the LORD 1st!!

What a lovely lyric/poem

I don't recognize it. What is the source?

David quoted the first stanza & refrain of an old hymn (of four stanzas). Looking further into it, it was written by Jennie Evelyn Hussey (1874-1958) & as a young girl of eight, she would often write several verses. She had Quaker roots, born at Henniker, NH & buried in Concord, NH.

Thanks Chris

Do you know the title of this hymn?

GiGi, I believe the first line of the hymn, 'King of my life, I crown Thee now', is its title. You can read the words & hear the piano music at Hymnal dot net, searching for it using the first line.

Chris
