II. Selections
Psalm 130:7
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
Isaiah 7:13
Then Isaiah said [ to Ahaz]: "Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? ... "
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.
Luke 22:24
A dispute also arose among [ the apostles] as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
III. Meditation: Wearying to mortals and God
Our attempts, O God, to lay claim
to our own greatness must weary you.
Our hope lies not in our own greatness,
but in your love for us, and in your grace,
which gives eternal comfort and good hope.
For with you there is steadfast love, and with
you is great power to redeem. In Christ's name.
