II. Selections
Psalm 20:4
May [ the LORD] grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans.
Micah 6:3
"O my people, what have I done to you?
In what have I wearied you? Answer me! ... "
[ The LORD to Israel]
Revelation 9:20
The rest of humankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands or give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or talk.
Luke 10:42
" ...But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe rue and mint and herbs of all kinds, and neglect justice and the love of God; it is these you ought to have practiced, without neglecting the others. ... " [ Jesus speaking at the dinner table to his host, a Pharisee]
III. Meditation: What have you done to weary us so?
We pray for our heart's desire,
and to have all our plans fulfilled,
which would be well and good-
if this desire were the practice of
justice for others and love for you.
But our heart's desire is fixed
on worshiping material things,
idols to gratify our love of self.
What have you done to weary
us of you and your love for us? ;
