April 1, 2014 Psalm
146
Tuesday Isaiah 42:14-21
Colossians
1:9-14
Read
from top to bottom these excerpts from today’s three readings as a single
thought on God’s caring for us, our failure to listen to him and God’s
directions for us.
Psalm 146
I
will praise the Lord all my life: . . .
. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, . . . . He upholds the cause of the
oppressed, . . . but he frustrates the
ways of the wicked.
Isaiah 42:14-21
For a
long time God has kept silent, . . . But now, . . . I will lay waste the mountains and hills, . .
. . You have seen many things, but you
pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.
Colossians 1:9-14
We
continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the
wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life
worthy of the Lord and please him in every way, . . . . For he has rescued us
from the kingdom of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he
loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Praise
the Lord. You Are the Maker of all, the
hope of the downtrodden, and the bane of the wicked. You speak to us in many ways, but, while we
hear and see, we do not always listen and comprehend. May the Holy Spirit guide us to live a life
worthy of the Lord, that we may enter the kingdom of his Son, through his
redemption of our sins. May we always
sing our praise to you, oh God. Amen
