Job 41 - Key

v34

He beholdeth all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the children of pride.

This verse is talking about a sea monster too strong for us approach, but that God is great enough to control. It says about the monster, that "he [is] a king over all the children of pride."

One of our friends was studying Job. I asked him what he was learning, and he said to not be proud. As I thought about it, I realized that this is a major point in this book. We shouldn't be proud.

From: Marching to Zion

By Isaac Watts, 1707 and Robert Lowry, 1867

The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heav’nly fields,
Before we reach the heav’nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets,
Or walk the golden streets.

We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

From: Marching to Zion

By Isaac Watts, 1707 and Robert Lowry, 1867 (I changed the word "favorites" to "children".)

Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But [children] of the heavenly King,
But [children] of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad,
May speak their joys abroad.

We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

By Isaac Watts, 1707 and Robert Lowry, 1867

Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;

And thus surround the throne,
And thus surround the throne.

Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

From: Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!

By Fanny Crosby, in 1882 and William Kirkpatrick

I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.

Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

This says, "thy beloved". We should base our decisions about what we're going to do, on our love for the Lord.

seek the Lord

Songs 5

v6

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

If we love the Lord, we should seek Him.
