II. Selections
Psalm 62:11-12a
Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
and steadfast love belongs to you, O LORD.
Zechariah 10:6
I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them;
for I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.
Galatians 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Luke 18:16
But Jesus called for [ the infants] and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. ... "
III. Meditation: Power and compassion
Power and compassion belong to you, O God-
power to strengthen your people,
compassion to forgive their sin.
Your compassion extends especially
to those who lack all power,
even little children.
Grant us some part of your power and compassion,
that we may help bear
the burdens of others.
