Scripture for Sunday April 21, 2024
Romans 8:26-28
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our...
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
To know and to do
Are a strange set of two
And the one will play upon the other
For to do and not know
Is a lucky sort of show
And we smirk on it one with another
Now to know and to do
Grants good purpose its due
And skill assures all those who love her
Yet to know and not do
Is the wresting of the two
And it comes with its own sort of tether
So to do and to know
With the good all in tow
Is a charity shared with another
But when we are remiss
Our lack will consist
In knowing but doing no other

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
