II. Selections
Psalm 63:11
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
Job 10:9
Remember that you fashioned me like clay;
and will you turn me to dust again?
Acts 11:18
When [ the circumcised believers in Jerusalem] heard [ Peter's report], they were silenced. And they praised God, saying, "Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life."
John 8:15-16
" ...You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. ... " [ Jesus]
III. Meditation: The repentance that leads to life
You who fashioned us like clay,
who will turn us to dust again-
only you are in a position to judge,
for we judge by human standards.
Give us mouths that rejoice in you,
not mouths that judge or tell lies;
mouths that praise and exult in you
for the repentance that leads to life.
