Passage: 1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; 10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. (Psalm 63:1–11 ESV) Song: Love of God by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend Lyrics: Love of God revealed in wonder By the works of a maker's hand Seas that roar with thunderous splendour Fields that whisper at His command All the joys of life we cherish Are God's gracious sign We are children of His promise Heirs of mercy and grace divine Unfailing love from heaven's throne That sought me out and brought me home My song of praise shall ever be The Father's love for me Love of God revealed in frailty Through the gift of a servant King Joy of heaven robed in humility Prince of Peace crowned with suffering Oh what love that calls humanity To kneel at the cross And exchange our sin's futility For the joy of a father's love Love of God what priceless treasure Over all this world affords To be His and His forever This my glory and my reward May this love beyond all knowing So capture my soul That I'm filled to overflowing With a passion for Him alone Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
