During the four weeks of Advent, we will share words from Scripture, with Monday containing words from an Old Testament Prophet, Tuesday containing the words from the Gospels that lead towards Jesus’ birth, and Thursday containing a Psalm.  We invite you to take time to reflect on these passages that speak to God’s voice as we await the birth of King Jesus.

Clap your hands, all you nations;
    shout to God with cries of joy.

For the Lord Most High is awesome,
    the great King over all the earth.

He subdued nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.

He chose our inheritance for us,
    the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.

God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.

Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth;
    sing to him a psalm of praise.

God reigns over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.

The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
    he is greatly exalted.

 

– Psalm 47
