PSALM 14
Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is no one who does good.
The LORD looks down from heaven on humankind
to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after
God.
They have all gone astray, they are all alike
perverse; there is no one who does good, no,
not one.
Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who
eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not
call upon the LORD?
There they shall be in great terror, for God is with
the company of the righteous.
You would confound the plans of the poor, but
the LORD is their refuge.
O that deliverance for Israel would come from
Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his
people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
EPHESIANS 3:14-21
For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father,
f rom whom every family in heaven and on earth
takes its name.
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he
may grant that you may be strengthened in your
inner being with power through his Spirit, and that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you
are being rooted and grounded in love.
I pray that you may have the power to comprehend,
with all the saints, what is the breadth and length
and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ
that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled
with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who by the power at work within us is
able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we
can ask or imagine to him be glory in the church and
in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.
