Mighty Deeds and Power--July 14, 2018

-->

God, you have been our dwelling place in all generations,

before the mountains were brought forth, or ever

you had formed the earth and the world,

from everlasting to everlasting

you are our God.

All day long you hold out your hands

to a disobedient, contrary people.

Will you find us at work--

at your work--when

you arrive?

Moses was your faithful servant;

he performed mighty deeds.

We can never match him,

but make us faithful

servants, too.
