Psalm 104:24
O LORD, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
Job 38:6-7
" ...On what were [ the earth's] bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone
when the morning stars sang together
and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy? ... " [ God to Job]
Acts 15:31
When [ the members of the Antioch congregation read the letter delivered by Paul and Barnabas], they rejoiced at the exhortation.
John 11:45-46
Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what he had done.
III. Meditation: Together sing the morning stars
You give us every reason to rejoice:
a creation far beyond our comprehension,
wondrous in construction; dazzling in detail;
an earth full of your creatures, all wisely made,
all testifying how manifold are your works.
Together heavenly beings shout for joy,
and morning stars sing your praise.
Even more than these, we celebrate
teachings we received, by word and deed,
by exhortations and by lives lived in faith,
in spite of persecution and of death.
