II. Selections
Psalm 115:11
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
Daniel 4:25c
" ...until you have learned that the Most High has sovereignty over the kingdom of mortals, and gives it to whom he will." [ Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar]
1 John 3:24
All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.
Luke 4:18b-19
" ...He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." [ Jesus reading from Isaiah]
III. Meditation: In your sovereignty
Whom do you favor, whom do you help and protect, in whom abide?
We read that you favor the captives, the blind, and the oppressed;
that you help and protect those who fear you and trust you;
that you abide in those who obey your commandments.
In your sovereignty, you give to whom you will.
