Psalm 116:5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
Job 17:15-16
" ...where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?
Will it go down to the bars of Sheol?
Shall we descend together into the dust?" [ Job]
Acts 13:2
While [ members of the church at Antioch] were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
John 9:4
" ...We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. ... " [ Jesus to his disciples]
III. Meditation: Night is coming
Night is coming, when no one can work.
Where then is our hope? ;
Who will see our hope?
Shall we descend together into the dust?
No, for you are gracious,
you are righteous and merciful,
and you have set us apart
for the work to which you have called us.
While it is day,
we will work your works;
and when it is night,
we will trust your mercy.
