FOUNDATION: PSALM 102
But You, O LORD, shall endure forever . . .You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come. For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor to her dust.
SUNDAY MEDITATION: In His Hand Are the Deep Places
For the LORD is the great God, and . . . In His hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the hills are His also.
SATURDAY FOCUS (Psalm 97)
The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad!
I will strengthen the house of Judah (Zechariah 10)
I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside.
FOUNDATION (Ezekiel 36)
For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.
