II. Selections
Psalm 63:5-6
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
when I think of you on my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night ...
Genesis 24:50
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you anything bad or good.
Hebrews 12:15
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and through it many become defiled.
John 7:36
What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me and you will not find me' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"
III. Meditation: In the watches of the night
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
when I think of you on my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night.
You find us; we do not find you.
You come to us; we do not go to you.
Why should we hide from you
or resist your will for us?
May we work to see that no one
fails to obtain your grace;
that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble,
lest through it many become defiled.
