Prayer

God of heaven and earth, 

before the foundation of the universe and the beginning of time 

you are the triune God: 

the Author of creation, 

the eternal Word of salvation, 

and the life-giving Spirit of wisdom. 

Guide us to all truth by your Spirit, 

that we may proclaim all that Christ revealed 

and rejoice in the glory he shared with us. 

Glory and praise to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, 

now and for ever. Amen.

Psalm 124

We have escaped like a bird

 

 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side

—let Israel now say—

if it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

when our enemies attacked us,

then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their anger was kindled against us;

then the flood would have swept us away,

the torrent would have gone over us;

then over us would have gone

the raging waters.

Blessed be the Lord,

who has not given us

as prey to their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird

from the snare of the fowlers;

the snare is broken,

and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

 

Proverbs 7:1-4

Wisdom is your sister

 

My child, keep my words

and store up my commandments with you;

keep my commandments and live,

keep my teachings as the apple of your eye;

bind them on your fingers,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”

and call insight your intimate friend.

 

Ephesians 4:7-16

Building up the body of Christ

 

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said,

 

“When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive;

he gave gifts to his people.”

 

(When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.
