Psalms 112:4
They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;
they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
Genesis 8: 22
" ...As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, day and night,
shall not cease."
[ said the LORD in his heart, after the flood]
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
John 3:3
Jesus answered [ Nicodemus], "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."
III. Meditation: Born into your light
To see your kingdom we must be born from above.
In our darkness you serve as a light for the upright,
with power to make us gracious, merciful, righteous.
We approach your throne of grace with boldness;
for as long as earth endures, we can depend on
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and
winter, day and night, and your mercy and grace.
