God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Isaiah 52:7-10
To be read aloud by someone in your home:
How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices;
together they shout for joy.
When the Lord returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes.
Burst into songs of joy together,
you ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord will lay bare his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
Opening Prayer
Isaiah announces Good News - Good News of comfort and joy that is found in the LORD Himself, and His salvation. Take a few moments to think of the ways in which God’s character and saving work in Christ is Good News for you. Do you remember specific times in your life when God has carried you through, or you have known Him and His saving work in a profound way?
Now take a few minutes to pray, thanking the Lord for who He is, and asking Him to strengthen your faith and joy in Him through this time of worship.
