II. Selections
Psalm 135:3
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing to his name, for he is gracious.
Hosea 12:1
Ephraim herds the wind,
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
they make a treaty with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.
Acts 26:16
" ' ...But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and testify to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you. ... ' " [ Saul's account to Agrippa of what Jesus told him in a vision]
Luke 8:38-39a
The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you."
III. Meditation: We herd the wind
We praise you, for you are good;
we sing to your name, for you are gracious.
In contrast to you, we herd the wind-
we pursue the empty and meaningless.
Pick us up; stand us on our feet,
that we may testify to the things
in which we have seen you,
and that we may declare how
much you have done for us.
