Week of July 6, 2008, Psalm 145:8-14
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Psalm 145, verses 8 to 14 – a psalm of praise recognizing God as almighty and powerful, and also gracious and compassionate:
8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
9 The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
10 All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you.
11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,
12 so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.
14 The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Dear Lord, Your creation praises You, Your saints extol You. We proclaim the glory of Your kingdom and we speak of Your power and might – so everyone, everywhere may know of Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom – that kingdom that is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion that has endured and continues to endure through all generations.
Heavenly Father, You are faithful to all Your promises and loving toward all You have made. You are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and You are rich in love. You uphold all those who fall and lift up all who are bowed down.
Jesus, in our world today, sometimes Your kingdom feels far from us. When we see the destruction of nature, and the suffering of humanity throughout the world, we see it as a very imperfect world. And Jesus, You teach us and remind us that You are in the center of the suffering – that You suffered once for all, and You are with each of us no matter the situation and no matter the circumstances.
Thanks Jesus, for Your presence with us always, Your love that surrounds us, and Your peace fills us. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
