II. Selections
Psalm 62:11-12a
Once God has spoken;
twice I have heard this:
that power belongs to God,
and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
Zephaniah 3:2
[ Jerusalem] has listened to no voice;
it has accepted no correction.
It has not trusted in the LORD;
it has not drawn near to its God.
Revelation 16:13
And I saw three foul spirits like frogs coming from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet.
Luke 13:19
" ...[ The kingdom of God] is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches." [ Jesus to the crowd]
III. Meditation: Once you have spoken, twice we have heard
When we do not listen to you or accept your correction;
when we have not trusted in you, or drawn near to you,
we forget that power and steadfast love belong to you.
But if a mustard seed of your kingdom starts to grow
in our hearts, it will disperse all the foul spirits that
come from mouth of dragon, beast, false prophet.
