  • Call To Worship – Psalm 147 ESV [selection]
    • 5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
    • 4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
    • 7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre!
    • 8 He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills.
    • 9 He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry.
    • 10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, 11 but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
    • 15 He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
    • 16 He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes.
    • 17 He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold?
    • 18 He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. 19 He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel.

    • In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
    • The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.
    • And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
    • And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
    • And God saw that the light was good.
    • And God separated the light from the darkness.
    • God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
    • And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
    • And God said …
    • And it was so …
    • the second day. And God said …
    • And it was so …
    • And God saw that it was good …
    • And God said …
    • And it was so …
    • And God saw that it was good …
    • the third day. And God said …
    • And it was so …
    • And God saw that it was good …
    • the fourth day. And God said …
    • So God created …
    • And God saw that it was good …
    • And God blessed them …
    • the fifth day. And God said …
    • And it was so …
    • And God saw that it was good …
    • Then God said …
    • So God created …
    • And God blessed them. And God said to them …
    • And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
    • And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
    • Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
    • And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
    • So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
