Israel is a nation again and has been and is being gathered from the four courners of the earth to shelter under the wings of the Lord. Even if not in Israel, if you are where Jesus wants you to be ....his wings stretch a long way.
The Song of Hannah
My heart exults in the Lord:
my strength is exalted in my God.
There is none holy like the Lord:
there is none beside you, no rock like our God.
For you O Lord are a God of knowledge:
and by you our actions are weighed.
The bows of the mighty are broken:
but the feeble gird on strength.
You Lord make poor and make rich:
you bring low and you also exalt.
You raise up the poor from the dust:
and lift the needy from the ash-heap.
You make them sit with princes:
and inherit a seat of honour.
For yours O Lord are the pillars of the earth:
and on them you have set the world.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - The Return of the family
1But now the Lord who created you, O Israel, says: Don’t be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. 2When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up — the flames will not consume you. 3For I am the Lord your God, your Savior, the Holy One of Israel. I gave Egypt and Ethiopia and Seba to Cyrusa in exchange for your freedom, as your ransom. 4Others died that you might live; I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me and honored, and I love you.
5Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you from east and west, 6from north and south. I will bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the farthest corners of the earth. 7All who claim me as their God will come, for I have made them for my glory; I created them.
