Prayer

The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind:
As we rejoice in the gift of this day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - The Power of the Lord revealed.

thumb

8I am the Lord! That is my name, and I will not give my glory to anyone else; I will not share my praise with carved idols. 9Everything I prophesied came true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens.”

10Sing a new song to the Lord; sing his praises, all you who live in earth’s remotest corners! Sing, O sea! Sing, all you who live in distant lands beyond the sea! 11Join in the chorus, you desert cities — Kedar and Sela! And you, too, dwellers in the mountaintops. 12Let the western coastlands glorify the Lord and sing his mighty power.

13The Lord will be a mighty warrior, full of fury toward his foes. He will give a great shout and prevail.

. . . . . Isaiah 42:8-13
