Week of March 8, 2009, Psalm 22:23-31
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Psalm 22, verses 23 to 31
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you will I fulfill my vows.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him-- may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him-- those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn-- for he has done it.
Dear Lord, we praise You. All the descendants of Jacob have honored You, and continue to honor You through the ages. All the families of the earth bow down before You, Lord.
We seek You, Lord. We cry out to You. Lord, You have listened to our cries for help. In the midst of our suffering, Lord, You respond. You respond to the cries of the poor. You respond to the cries of all the suffering.
Lord God, help us to serve You, to tell others about You as we share our stories and life journeys with others. For You are merciful and gracious, righteous in all You do.
Jesus, thanks for Your presence in our lives, Your love that surrounds us, Your joy and peace that are a part of who we are because of the promises of Your Word. Amen.
May the Lord shower you with His mercy; may the light of His presence be ever your guide; may He guard you and uphold you; may His Spirit be ever by your side. May He bless Your comings in and your goings out. When you sleep, may His angels watch over you; when you wake, may He fill you with His grace. May you love Him and serve Him all your days, and then in heaven to see His face forevermore.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
