Reflective Verses For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:9-12

Leader O Lord, who shall abide in your tent? Who shall dwell in your holy hill? People The one who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks

truth from the heart; Leader who does not slander with the tongue, and does no evil to a friend, nor takes

up a reproach against a neighbour; People in whose eyes a reproach is despised, but who honours those who fear

the Lord; Leader who does not put out money at interest, and does not take a bribe against

the innocent. ALL The one who does these things shall never be moved. Amen.
