“Be thou instructed...”

Manner of Life
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1
Daily Meditation
“Be thou instructed...”
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. Jeremiah 6:8; Proverbs 17:13; Job 15:30

Hymn
“Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.” Psalm 25:4
Teach my little hands and feet,
Useful, Lord, to be,
Tell me something I can do—
Every day for Thee.

Chorus
Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Savior, keep me Thine.
Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Savior, keep me Thine.

Teach my tongue a word to speak,
Gentle, soft and low,
Make me like a beam of light
Everywhere I go.

Teach me how to love Thy Word,
Love it more and more;
Help me Lord, to work for Thee,
Till my life is o’er.

Consolation
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Jeremiah 17:4-6

Exhortation
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:101-103
