PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

In the midst of continual change, God remains steadfast in God’s love for us. God is creating something new, a new heaven and a new earth. Each day offers newness of hope and faith. Let us open our hearts and spirits to God’s creative word for us that we may learn, grow, and serve. AMEN.
  

Psalm 98

98:1 O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.
98:2 The LORD has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
98:3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
98:4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
98:5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody.
98:6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.
98:7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it.
98:8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy
98:9 at the presence of the LORD, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Move a Little
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 (NCV)

Want to know the quickest simplest way to begin to improve your health and fitness? You don’t even have to get sweaty. You don’t have to put on gym clothes. You don’t have to lift weights or even get a gym membership. Begin to boost your metabolism, energy, creativity, fitness, and health by performing simple movements throughout your day. For just 1 to 2 minutes every hour of your day, move your body by stretching, walking, squatting, lunging, twisting. With each repetition, thank God for a strong, healthy body and the ability to move.
—Exercise Physiologist Sean Foy
   

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Holy God, giver of mercy and comfort, help us to see your light that shines through unsettling times, to help us find our way to you. We offer our tithes and offering this morning, not to adorn a monument to you, but to be part of a living testimony: light will overcome darkness; fear will overcome despair; compassion will overcome injustice; and love wins over hate. In thankfulness, we give. Amen. (Luke 21:5-19)
