II. Selections
Psalm 57:2
I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
Habakkuk 2:1
I will stand at my watchpost,
and station myself on the rampart;
I will keep watch to see what he will say to me,
and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
James 2:26
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.
Luke 16:25
" ...But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life-time you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.' ..." [ Jesus to the Pharisees]
III. Meditation: I keep watch, but you have spoken
God, I cry to you; I keep watch, that I may hear what you will say to me. Then I realize that you have already spoken, spoken more clearly than I want to acknowledge. You have told me how it is with the rich who seek their own comfort, ignoring the condition of the poor who surround them. My faith is dead if it produces no works.
