For Sunday
This Sunday's sermon will focus on Psalm 48, which is known as a "Zion Hymn." It concludes this way, in the translation of The Message:
We pondered your love-in-action, God,
waiting in your temple:
Your name, God, evokes a train
of Hallelujahs wherever
it is spoken, near and far;
your arms are heaped with goodness-in-action.
Be glad, Zion Mountain;
Dance, Judah's daughters!
He does what he said he'd do!
Circle Zion, take her measure,
count her fortress peaks,
Gaze long at her sloping bulwark,
climb her citadel heights -
Then you can tell the next generation
detail by detail the story of God,
Our God forever,
who guides us till the end of time.
See you Sunday,
Tracy
