II. Selections
Psalm 40:4
Happy are those who make
the LORD their trust,
who do not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after false gods.
Zechariah 14:9
And the LORD will become king over all the earth; on that day the LORD will be one and his name one.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 19:31
" ...If anyone asks you, 'Why are untying [ the colt]?' just say this, 'The Lord needs it.' " [ Jesus to two of his disciples]
III. Meditation: Happy are those
When you become king over all the earth-
the day when you are one and your name is one-
surely then we will make you our trust.
But perhaps we need not wait for that day;
perhaps, in fact, that day has already come.
Today, we can trust you with our lives.
Today, forbid that we should turn to the proud,
or go astray when we know you need something;
Today may we be happy trusting you.
Fill us with all joy and peace in believing,
that by the power of your Holy Spirit
we may abound in hope, and live in trust.
