II. Selections
Psalm 113:4
The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens.
Isaiah 62:8
The LORD has sworn by his right hand,
and by his mighty arm:
I will not again give your grain
to be food for your enemies,
and foreigners shall not drink the wine
for which you have labored ...
1 John 2:10
Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling.
John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
III. Meditation: The light of life
Your glory is above the heavens;
you are the light of the world.
To live in your light is to love
and never to walk in darkness.
You who are high above all nations
know that many suffer as slaves.
Their grain feeds their oppressors,
who drink the wine for which they labored.
Lift your mighty arm and right hand
to protect the poor and oppressed.
Or give us the strength to liberate,
if that is the way to walk in your light.
