Jeremiah 33:14-16
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the PROMISE I made to the house of Israel and to Judah…
Promise. An Eternal Covenant.
Throughout each year, we may personally experience times of despair, disappointment, or hardship. As well, we encounter moments of joy, celebration, and gratitude. Through God’s righteous branch sprung up for David, we are blessed with a sacrificial love that helps sustain us through each moment of life.
As well, when we witness despair among our neighbors, strangers and friends, may we respond with the love learned not only from God, but from God’s Son who walked among humanity and taught charity, hope, compassion, and forgiveness. All is not lost, and may the Star of David be our guide to peace, hope, and unity.
Prayer
God of Promise, with Thanksgiving we come to you, grateful for your love and devotion to ALL of your creation. We are thankful for the blessings you bestow upon us, both seen and unseen. May we return our gratitude by worshipping you, and by caring for those around us, with compassion and arms wide open. Amen.
