LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY READY EXHORTER

November 27 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Thessalonians 4-5 Key Verse– 1Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY READY EXHORTER Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your commandment Thank You for enclosing me within Your will’s sanctifying settlement Against vain carnality of lust-entanglement Which defrauds me from Your promised betterment. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your holiness Thank You for bracing me up by Your teaching’s lovingkindness Against restless business of worldliness Which degrades me from honesty’s earnestness. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your hope Thank You for keeping me within Your word’s rope Against vexing voice of unbelief along hypocrisy’s slope Which deters me from remaining in Your safety-scope. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your perfection Thank You for securing me within Your peace-consolation Against dark gloominess of sin devoid of cheerful expectation Which detracts me from watchfulness by Your supervision. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your salvation glory Thank You for shielding me within Your assured victory Against afflicting misery of devouring worry Which disappoints me in sharing Your Gospel story. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your warning Thank You for guarding me within Your goodness always reigning Against attractive invitation of humanistic learning Which discourages me to pray due to self-confidence training. Lord God, You are my ready Exhorter in the light of Your guidance Thank You for sanctifying me within Your forgiveness-abundance Against foolish deceit of self-righteousness for my avoidance Which defeats me from submitting to You with holy attendance.
