(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
__ Ezekiel 48
Father, we are coming to You in just a little while. We are not coming to visit, but to stay. One day Your Son will take us with Him again as He comes back to usher in the new age to come in all of its fullness. Then all those who are His in this world that is fading away will be changed and we will be together with Your Son forever. Teach us to be faithful to You even now. It is appointed for us to live once, and then to face judgment. You will carry us safely through that coming judgment. Christ has died for our sins. We long for the new holy work that You have prepared for us. There will be no evil in that work, but much holy joy. Here we feel so out of place. We are not at home. We long for the revelation of this new land. It is our inheritance. We have a portion in it. O grant that we would enter that city through the gate appointed for us at just the right time. We want to live in the city with that glorious name. The name of that city is “The Lord is there.”
__ Psalm 63
Lord God, You have put something within us that longs for You. You have made our souls alive to Your goodness. We praise You when we are together, and we praise You in secret communion. No matter how dangerous the enemies against us may be, You are our refuge and our help forever.
__ Genesis 1
Creator God, You have made all things of nothing. You were in the beginning, and Your Spirit hovered over the face of the deep. In the person of Your Son, You have spoken the world into being. He is the Light of the World, and through Him Light was made. Your Spirit is a fountain of living water for our souls, and by Your Spirit You created the waters and defined their boundaries. You have given us the true Bread from heaven, our great Redeemer, and through Him You made all the vegetation that has covered the dry land. Father, You ordained that the sun, moon, and stars would have dominion over light and darkness. You have filled the waters above with the birds of the air and the waters below with the fish of the sea. You have given us all kinds of creatures, covering the dry land with such a variety of living things. O Marvelous Lord, You then created man, male and female, in Your image. You have granted to us all that we need for life, and have placed us in dominion over all things in the created order. Blessed be Your Name, O God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for You alone created the heavens and the earth.
__ Genesis 2
O Lord of the Sabbath, You rested on the day of Your choosing. Grant that we might enter into Your holy rest through Jesus Christ. He is the second Adam, through whom we have new life. Our father, the first Adam, was granted life in a beautiful garden. You warned him about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that he should not eat of it, lest he die. You granted to him a helpmate from his own rib in the beautiful form of the very good gift of a woman. She was a companion suitable for him, for she was like him but not like him; opposite him but not opposite him. This great gift of women you have given us even now, together with all family blessings, for You know our every need and give wonderful gifts to Your children.
