Sermon Text: Psalm 19
That we may be steadfast in faithfulness and pure in heart
God, You are glorious. We realize that whenever we gaze at length on the handiwork of your creation. It sings your praise without words and urges us to add our own unique voice to the hymn of your glory.
We also recognize your glory when we carefully consider your instructions, your commands. Your law provides us with great wisdom and guidance. It brings us new energy and joy as it illuminates our lives. It awes us and enables us to honor You in humility.
We meditate on your law that guides our fidelity and find great wealth, rich nourishment, protective warning, and undeserved reward.
O God, your perfect word also enables us to see our sin and makes it clear, to us, that we are always in need of your help and your forgiveness. Protect us from willful, presumptuous sin and make us blameless in your sight.
Our Rock and Redeemer, enable us to be steadfast in faithfulness, and pure in heart, as we make your word, given to us in your freedom, the foundation of our entire life. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
