PASSAGES
Psalm 92:1-15
1 It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 proclaiming your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
5 How great are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!
6 Senseless people do not know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
9 For surely your enemies, Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
Philippians 3:18-21
18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Romans 5:10-11
10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Psalm 71:1-4
1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. 2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. 3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
QUOTES
“We can begin the day assured of his love and end the day looking back on his faithfulness.” – Warren Wiersbe
The greenness of Psalm 92 is “the freshness of age without sterility, like that of Moses whose ‘eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated (Deut. 34:7); whose wisdom was mature and his memory invaluably rich. It is a picture…which sets a pattern of spiritual stamina for our encouragement or possibly our rebuke.” – Derek Kidner

Heart Abandoned
Verse 1
In the secret place where I see Your face
Will You take me there again
You can search my heart in the deepest part
From beginning to the end
Pre-Chorus
To You my eyes are lifting
To You my prayer is rising up
You’ve captured my attention
Consume me consume me
Chorus
God give me a heart abandoned
Ever after You alone
Gold and silver You can take it
All I want is You my Lord
Verse 2
You can have my soul just like Jericho
Come and tear down my walls
And I am in Your hands
You are the Promised Land
You are the King of my heart
Verse 3
When I’ve been the fool and I hid from You
You still called out my name
When my flesh is weak will You help me see
You are all that I need
You are all that I need

Who You Say I Am
Verse 1
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me
Chorus 1
Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am

Free at last
He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me

Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am
In my Father’s house, There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God, Yes I am

I am who You say I am
You are for me not against me
I am who You say I am

CORPORATE PRAYER
Psalm 40:1-5, 11-13, 17
1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
4 Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.[b]
5 Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always
protect me.
12 For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.
17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
you are my God, do not delay.
