Prayer

Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - I will make your name great

thumb

4But that night the Lord said to Nathan,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8 “Now go and give this message to David from the Lord of heaven: ‘I chose you to be the leader of my people Israel when you were a mere shepherd, tending your sheep in the pastureland.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12For when you die, I will put one of your sons upon your throne, and I will make his kingdom strong. 13He is the one who shall build me a temple. And I will continue his kingdom into eternity. 14I will be his father and he shall be my son. If he sins, I will use other nations to punish him, 15but my love and kindness shall not leave him as I took it from Saul, your predecessor. 16Your family shall rule my kingdom forever.’”

. . . . .2 Samuel 7:4,8,12-16
