Read Psalm 118:1-2 & 14-24
because he is good,
and his love is eternal.
2 Let the people of
Israel say,
“His love is eternal.”
14 The
Lord makes me powerful and strong;
he has saved me.
15 Listen to the glad
shouts of victory in the tents of God’s people:
“The Lord’s
mighty power has done it!
16 His power has
brought us victory—
his mighty power in battle!”
17 I will not die;
instead, I will live
and proclaim what the Lord
has done.
18 He has punished me
severely,
but he has not let me die.
19 Open to me the gates
of the Temple;
I will go in and give thanks to the Lord!
20 This is the gate of
the Lord;
only the righteous can come in.
21 I praise you, Lord,
because you heard me, because you have given me victory.
22 The
stone which the builders rejected as worthless
turned out to be the most important of all.
23 This
was done by the Lord;
what a wonderful sight it is!
24 This is the day of
the Lord’s victory;
let us be happy, let us celebrate!
Think
The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned
out to be the most important of all.
This was done by the LORD; what a wonderful sight it is.
As we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection we realize that this is
the way God works; he takes the least and lifts them up.
Pray
Lord, let me be content with a life of service and humility;
in the knowledge that you are the God who lifts us up – who takes the least of
these; and makes them great!
