Minister: Lift up your hearts! Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord! Too many, Lord, now trouble me, Those who rise against me Multiply. They whisper threats against my soul; There is no help for him in God. I think on my troubles. But You, O Lord, have shielded me; You are my glory, …
Look at Your Hands
The fact of death is woven into this fallen creation. The fact of resurrection is woven into the new creation. We are to live in the old order, as heirs of the new. We cannot do this by sight, and so we are summoned to walk by faith. Look at your hands. You know that …
