II. Selections
Psalm 15:1-2a
O LORD, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?
Those who walk blamelessly,
and do what is right ...
Isaiah 45:4
For the sake of my servant Jacob,
and Israel my chosen,
I call you by your name,
I surname you, though you do not know me.
Ephesians 5:10
Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord.
Mark 4:9
And [ Jesus] said, "Let anyone with ears to hear listen!"
III. Meditation: We do not know you
We do not know you, but you know us as your own;
you have called us, you have named us.
We do not know you, but we know what pleases you:
to walk blamelessly, and do what is right.
We do not know how to be blameless or to do what is right,
unless, with the ears you have given us, we listen.
It's a beautiful meditation!
