When We Are Together with God--Oct. 14, 2016

We praise your name, O God,

for your name is exalted, your

glory is above earth and heaven.

Young men and women alike,

old and young together,

we praise you.

We are blessed to be with you

and with one another; in good times

and in hard times it gives us courage.

Even when human leaders fail us,

you will not.

Let them praise the name of the LORD,

          his glory is above earth and heaven. 

Hosea 13:10

Where now is your king, that he may save you?  Where in all your cities are your rulers, of whom you said, "Give me a king and rulers"?

Just as [Moses and Elijah] were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.
