15. LUKE 2:34-35 (The Message)
This child marks both the failure
and the recovery of many in Israel,
A figure misunderstood and contradicted—
the pain of a sword-thrust through you—
But the rejection will force honesty,
as God reveals who they really are.
16. LUKE 2:34-35 (ESV)
Behold, this child is appointed
for the fall and rising of many in Israel,
and for a sign that is opposed
(and a sword will pierce through
your own soul also), so that thoughts
from many hearts may be revealed.

safe to worship is
self-giving love.”
19. PSALM 135:13-18 (ESV)
Your name, O Lord , endures forever,
Your renown, O Lord , throughout all ages.
For the Lord will vindicate His people
and have compassion on His servants.
20. PSALM 135:13-18 (ESV)
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands. They have mouths,
but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they
have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in
their mouths. Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them!

22. PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 (ESV)
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to
God. And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
