II. Selections
Psalm 66:6b-7
There we rejoiced in him,
who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations-
let the rebellious not exalt themselves.
Exodus 15:18
" ...The LORD will reign forever and ever." [ the song of Moses and the Israelites]
1 Peter 1:13
Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
III. Meditation: Your eyes keep watch
We rejoice in you,
for you will reign forever and ever.
May we never forget-
your eyes keep watch on the nations,
including our own.
Forgive our rebelliousness,
our self-exaltation.
Prepare our minds for action
and give us self-discipline;
set all our hope on the grace
that Jesus Christ will bring
when he is revealed.
Give us your peace,
not as the world gives,
but as you give.
Then our hearts will not be troubled,
neither will they be afraid.
