II. Selections
Psalm 16:8
I keep the LORD always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Job 31:17
" ...or [ if I] have eaten my morsel alone,
and the orphan has not eaten from it ... "
[ Job]
Acts 15:8-9
" ...And God, who knows the human heart, testified to [ the Gentiles] by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us; and in cleansing their hearts by faith he has made no distinction between them and us. ... " [ Peter to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem]
John 11:28
When [ Martha] had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."
III. Meditation: You are here, and you know
O God, you know the human heart,
and you make no distinctions among us.
You know that we never eat a morsel alone-
the hungry, whom you also love, watch us eat.
Lord Jesus, you are here; you are calling for us.
Stay on our right hand, and we shall not be moved.
