Tuesday

Scripture lesson: Psalm 65:1-5 Praise God

Time to reflect: It is basic to the Judeo-Christian religion that God is loving and gracious and full of mercy. This Psalm, along with so many other Old Testament passages give lie to the old saw that “The Old Testament is a testament of Law and the New Testament is a testament of Love.” Both have both.

Moving through the day:Pray a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion;
       to you our vows will be fulfilled.

  O you who hear prayer,
       to you all men will come.

  When we were overwhelmed by sins,
       you forgave our transgressions.

 Blessed are those you choose
       and bring near to live in your courts!
       We are filled with the good things of your house,
       of your holy temple.

  You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness,
       O God our Savior,
       the hope of all the ends of the earth
       and of the farthest seas,
