Psalm 24
While entering through the doors of the temple the poet sings a hymn of praise to God who brought order out of the dangerous primordial ocean. Appropriate for a Sunday as we enter into our worship.
Psalm 29
Astonishment at the overwhelming presence of God in nature who rules the untameable ocean and even makes mountains cavort like calves and oak trees “writhe” in a gale! We worship such a God, who makes such strength and peace available to us.
Wisdom 7: 22-8:1 What’s Wisdom about?
Solomon describes Wisdom with a whole range of poetic qualities, almost like a hymn of praise or a love-song to this aspect of God which makes herself at home with humanity.
Matthew 7: 7-14 What’s Matthew about?
We can trust God to be generous, and so that gives us the foundation for treating others generously. Nevertheless, this path isn’t easy—it will take determination to walk in that way.
This week’s collect:
Almighty God,
your Son Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.
Give us grace to love one another
and walk in the way of his commandments,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
