Today’s quote from Luke’s GospelLuke 2_40

Heavenly Father,
growth should not just be a childhood experience.
Lord Jesus, in the gloom of this dark year
By your grace,
I want to continue to grow like Jesus
in strength and wisdom.
In His name,
I pray.
Amen.

When you, God, went out before your people,     when you marched through the wilderness, the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai,     before God, the God of Israel. You gave abundant showers, O God;     you refreshed your weary inheritance. Your people settled in it,     and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.

  (Psalm 68:7-10, NIV)*

Relent, LORD! How long will it be?     Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,     that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,     for as many years as we have seen trouble. May your deeds be shown to your servants,     your splendor to their children.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;     establish the work of our hands for us—     yes, establish the work of our hands.

  (Psalm 90:13-17, NIV)*

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,
    extol him who rides on the clouds;
    rejoice before him—his name is the LORD.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
    is God in his holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families,
    he leads out the prisoners with singing;
    but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

  (Psalm 68:4-6, NIV)*

May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;
    may his foes flee before him.
May you blow them away like smoke—
    as wax melts before the fire,
    may the wicked perish before God.
But may the righteous be glad
    and rejoice before God;
    may they be happy and joyful.

  (Psalm 68:1-3, NIV)*

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us—
so that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation among all nations.

May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you rule the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.
