First
Lesson: Isaiah
49:1-7
Psalm 40:1-11
1
I was
patient while I waited for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my
cry for help.
2
I
was sliding down into the pit of death, and he pulled me out. He brought
me up out of the mud and dirt. He set my feet on a rock. He gave me
a firm place to stand on.
3
He gave me
a new song to sing. It is a hymn of praise to our God. Many people
will see and have respect for the Lord. They will put their trust in
him.
4
Blessed
is the person who trusts in the Lord. They don’t trust in proud
people. Those proud people worship statues of gods.
5
Lord my
God, no one can compare with you. You have done many wonderful
things. You have planned to do these things for us. There are too
many of them for me to talk about.
6
You
didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. You didn’t require burnt offerings
and sin offerings. You opened my ears so that I could hear you and obey
you.
7
Then I
said, “Here I am. It is written about me in the book.
8
My
God, I have come to do what you want. Your law is in my heart.”
9
I have
told the whole community of those who worship you. I have told them what
you have done to save me. Lord, you know
that I haven’t kept quiet.
10
I
haven’t kept to myself that what you did for me was right. I have spoken
about how faithful you were when you saved me. I haven’t hidden your love
and your faithfulness from the whole community.
11
Lord,
don’t hold back your mercy from me. May your love and faithfulness always
keep me safe.
Second
Lesson: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9
