(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
__ Daniel 1
Glorious and Sovereign Lord, make Your plans for Your people shine forth in brightest colors in our darkest days. When our prospects appear very bleak, You remain a bountiful Provider of every good gift. You can still care for Your children though they are strangers in a strange land. We are strengthened by Your Word and refreshed by Your Spirit. When it would appear that we would fade away in a time of trouble, You are able to do amazing things. You can give Your servants health, wisdom, learning, grace, diligence, and many other blessings. When we lack everything else, there is no greater gift than Your presence among us. Be with us day by day, and bless Your church in wonderful ways as we live in the midst of this fading world. Glorify Your Name through the provision of help that could only have come from You.
__ Psalm 112
O Lord Our God, we praise You. Make our young ones mighty in Your service. Bring Your light into our homes and show forth Your glory in Your church. Give us courage in the spiritual battle that we have before us. Grant us hope and security in Your everlasting love.
__ Exodus 19
Lord God, You are near us. We have a Mediator who is forever in Your presence. You have brought us along on eagles’ wings as a kingdom of priests. We hear Your Law, and commit ourselves to obey Your commandments. Why would we ever sin against You? Forgive us, O Lord. Though we know that our Mediator has accomplished our redemption, it is still very frightening to think that we as sinners might somehow face Your wrath. We are assured that our Rock, Jesus Christ, has faced the fullness of Your justice that we deserved. Surely a mountain of punishment has been broken into nothing through the holy blood of Jesus Christ, who died for us. Your Son has come down to us through the preaching of the truth, and has spoken to us of good news. We believe Him, and believing, we find life in His Name.
