So the Master, God, brings righteousness
into full bloom
and puts praise on display
before the nations.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God grows the seeds of peaceful actions into justice and righteousness.PRAYER
God, thank you for holding out the hope of a better world. I'm committed to that, although I confess that I don't always work for peace in a peaceful way. I so easily get sucked into the power plays and positioning. Plant whole peace -- the peace that Christ brings to a broken and doomed world -- plant it deep into my heart. I'm going to pursue your agenda in your way. Amen.
