Psalm 148 | Hymn
A third hymn of Praise; Praise the Lord from every fiber of the creation and the Earth.
Job 11
Zophar raves at Job at Job’s word for Z know that God knows J to be a secret sinner and thereby just in giving this punishment on him; From Z’s point of view - God just looks for sinners. How sad for Z.
Revelation 5
A picture of the heavenly throne and the question of who is worthy to open the scroll of the world of God; no one from the heavenly court steps forward; Jesus takes it and everyone sings praises to the Lamb.
Matthew 5
Jesus teaches/preaches the Sermon of the Mount to the crowd and listed the blessed. How are you blessed? Rejoice and be glad for your reward will be great; you are the seasoning and light for the world - let your light shine always.

For our Country   Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage:  We humbly beseech you that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of your favor and glad to do your will.  Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.  Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.  Defend our liberties, and fashion us into one united people.  Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in your Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to your law, we may show forth your praise among the nations of the earth.  In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in you to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
