II. Selections
Psalm 9:10
And those who know your name put their trust in you
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Joel 3:15
The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
1 Peter 1:2
...who have been chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: May grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Matthew 19:6
" ...So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." [ Jesus, to Pharisees who asked him about divorce]
III. Meditation: When the sun and the moon are darkened
When the sun and the moon are darkened,
when the stars withdraw their shining,
when what you have joined together
has become separated, we turn to you.
You have not forsaken those who seek you,
those who know your name and trust in you.
You have chosen us, sanctified us to obedience;
now in your abundance give us grace and peace.
