The Power of the Incarnation!
O Lord, You were pleased with Your land; You turned back the captivity of Jacob;
You forgave the transgressions of Your people;
You covered all their sins.
You ended all Your wrath;
You turned from the wrath of Your anger.
Turn us, O God of our salvation,
And turn away Your anger from us.
Will You be angry with us forever,
Or will You prolong Your anger from generation to generation?
O God, You will turn and give us life,
And Your people will be glad in You.
Show us Your mercy, O Lord,
And grant us Your salvation.
I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me,
For He will speak peace
To His people and to His holy ones,
And to those who turn their heart to Him.
His salvation is very close at hand to those who fear Him,
That glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth met together;
Righteousness and peace kissed each other;
Truth arose from the earth,
And righteousness looked down from heaven.
For the Lord will give goodness,
And our land shall yield its fruit.
Righteousness shall go before Him
And establish His footsteps as our pathway.
Encouraging Words
Why, oh why, would our God, the creator of all, especially all of mankind, use the incarnation of His Son as the means by which to save us all for eternity? Because as long as we were created beings, created from the soil of this earth, we would remain separated from God, the Creator, the Divine. But through the incarnation, through God Himself becoming man, mankind has been given the divine opportunity to see the Image of god. And through that Image, our Lord Jesus Christ, we will come to be in the presence of our God throughout eternity. Glory be to God!
