Psalm 68:30b
Trample under foot those who lust after tribute;
scatter the peoples who delight in war.
Leviticus 19:34
The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
2 Thessalonians 1:11
To this end we always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of his call and will fulfill by his power every good resolve and work of faith ...
Matthew 6:33
But strive for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
III. Meditation: In trust you will provide
You have called us;
make us worthy of your call.
By your power fulfill
every good resolve and work of faith.
When you called us
we were immigrants in Egypt;
now teach us to love
the immigrants among us.
Destroy all lust for gain that leads to war.
Make us content to seek
your kingdom, your righteousness,
in trust you will provide our needs.
