Loving God, we do not
know what tomorrow
will bring;
our life is a mist that
appears for a little,
then vanishes.
And yet we trust: with
the finest of the wheat
you would feed us,
and with honey from the
rock
would satisfy us.
You would engulf us with
your kingdom
if we would be faithful
to one another, not to profane
the covenant
you made with our
ancestors.
O, that it might be so!

Selected Verses
Ps. 81:5b-16
I hear a voice I had not known:
"…I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you. …”
"…I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you. …”
Mal. 2:10
Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another,
profaning the covenant of our ancestors?
James 4:14
Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little
while and then vanishes.
Luke 17:20-21
Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of
God was coming, and he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with
things that can be observed; nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or
'There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom
of God is among you."
