Oaks of Righteousness
The Lord God would say to you, Charity Lutheran, that I am with you. And I have made you to be a terebinth; You are an oak in the midst of time. Where there are storms upon the land, Even as the storms come across the prairies with fierceness, I have called you to be an oak in the midst of this time. And to stand, and to stand, and to continue to stand. For you are a shelter - You are a haven to many that I will draw under your mighty branches. I have established you; and I have planted you. I have raised you up from a seed and made you strong in my might and in my power. And it is for this time, and for the days ahead that I have called you To be in this place. For the storms will continue to come, But I am with you; And I am your strength. I am the source of life that runs through you; For you are My oak of righteousness. And I am with you; and I will stand with you, And no one shall take you down. For you are My tree, You are My oak, You are My terebinth, Says the Lord." |
For prayer and meditation:
To proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion; to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61 |
