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.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people
    both now and forevermore.

The scepter of the wicked will not remain
    over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
    their hands to do evil.

Lord, do good to those who are good,
    to those who are upright in heart.
But those who turn to crooked ways
    the Lord will banish with the evildoers.

Peace be on Israel.

 

– Psalm 125
