(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
__ Ezekiel 47
Our God, we want to see the water coming forth from Your heavenly temple. We want to put our hands in it, walk in it, and swim in it. We need the life from this river even now. That water brings fresh new life everywhere it goes. Bring the Word of life everywhere, so that the dead may be brought to life again in Your Son. Lord show us the way of the greatest spiritual health even now, that we may walk in it. Where is our place in Your great land? Surely there is a place for all those who rest in Your Son. Will we want to explore the whole length and breadth of Your land for all eternity, or will we stay as near to You as we can be? We were foreigners to the covenant of grace, but now we have been brought near to You through the blood of the Lamb. Where will we live in glory? We know we will be in Christ, and that our joy will be full.
__ Psalm 29
Lord of Hosts, all worship of men and angels is due to You, for You alone are God. Your voice is fearful and wonderful, like glorious thunder from the heavens. Blessed be Your Name, O great King. We hear Your Word of peace, and are greatly blessed.
__ Deuteronomy 17
Father God, there was absolutely no blemish in the offering of Christ for our sake. He had no abomination in His sinless heart. Yet He was put to death for us. Our evil was purged through the death of this perfect Substitute. He is our Priest forever. He has declared to us Your holy will. We should follow His commandments forever. Please continue to forgive us, for we have sinned against You. Your Son is also our great King. He is not a king like those of the nations. He does not need anything from us, for all things are His. Yet in His gracious love, He showers us with many royal blessings. His Kingdom is forever.
