December 29th
It’s a “Books of the Bible Mini Version Pt.1” Day
LORD, HELP US TO STUDY AND KNOW THY WORD AND HAVE IT EMBEDDED IN OUR HEARTS. AMEN.
In Genesis, the world was made by God’s creative hand;
In Exodus, the Hebrews marched to gain the Promised Land;
Leviticus contains the law, holy and just and good.
Numbers records the tribes enrolled – all sons of Abraham’s blood.
Moses in Deuteronomy records God’s mighty deeds;
Brave Joshua into Canaan’s land the host of Israel leads.
In Judges, their rebellion oft provokes the Lord to smite.
But Ruth records the faith of one well pleasing in His sight,
In First and Second Samuel of Jesse’s son we read.
Ten Tribes in First and Second Kings revolt from his seed.
The First and Second Chronicles see Judah captive made;
But Ezra leads a remnant back by princely Cyrus’ aid.
The city wall of Zion, Nehemiah builds again,
While Esther saves her people from the plots of wicked men.
In Job, we read how faith will live beneath affliction’s rod,
And David’s Psalm’s precious songs to every child of God.
The Proverbs like a goodly string of choicest pearls appear,
Ecclesiastes teaches man how vain are all things here.
The mystic Song of Solomon exalts sweet Sharon’s Rose;
While Christ the Saviour and the King, the book of Isaiah shows.
The warning Jeremiah apostate Israel scorns;
His plaintive Lamentations they’re awful downfall mourns.
Ezekiel tells in wondrous words of dazzling mysteries;
While kings and empires yet to come, Daniel in vision sees.
Of judgment and of mercy, Hosea loves to tell;
Joel describes the blessed days when God and with man shall dwell.
Among Tekoa’s herdsmen Amos received his call;
While Obadiah prophesies of Edom’s final fall.
Jonah enshrines a wondrous type of Christ, our risen Lord,
Micah pronounces Judah lost – lost, but again restore.
Nahum declares on Nineveh just judgment shall be poured.
A view of Chaldea’s coming doom Habakkuk’s visions give;
Next Zephaniah warns the Jews to turn, repent and live;
Haggai wrote to those who saw the Temple built again,
And Zechariah prophesied of Christ’s triumphant reign.
Malachi was the last one who touched the high prophetic cord;
Its final notes sublimely show the coming of the Lord.
Remember it’s not how many times you have been through the Bible, but how many times the Bible has been through you. Now, tell me how many?
