Day 4 – Saturday
Psalm 19
Creative God, we rejoice in You and in
your magnificent work of creation. Enable us to read your universe as a
testimony to your glory and wisdom. May our
observations enhance our delight in You.
Wise God, we rejoice in your word. Enable
us to meditate on it and allow it to shape our minds by your values. Enable us
to truly see that attentiveness and obedience to your word is more enriching
than all of the money and goods that we may amass. Enable us to see that our
deepest security comes not from wealth, but from wise trust in your word. As we
allow your word to shape our lives, bend our lives away from hoarding and
investing our energy in protecting our things. Move us more deeply into lives
of generous sharing and a commitment to justice that tries to assure that each
of our neighbors and every person in the world has adequate resources for
fruitful and joyful living.
Your creation and your commands testify to
your glory and wisdom. Let our lives do so as well. Amen.
