But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Every moment of life he is changing to a degree the life of the whole world.
No individual is so insignificant as to be without influence.
The only responsibility that a man cannot evade in this life is the one he thinks of least,--his personal influence.
There are men and women whose presence seems to radiate sunshine, cheer and optimism.
To make our influence felt we must live our faith, we must practice what we believe.
Trifles unnoted by us may be links in the chain of some great purpose.
We should ever let our influence filter through human love and sympathy.
We should not be merely an influence,--we should be an inspiration.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
