Morning
Prayer
Psalm 146
This psalm is one of praise to God who is trustworthy
– more than princes: more than mortals. Our God sets prisoners free and cares
for orphans and widows.
John 3:
31 – 36
John
says explicitly that Jesus is above all, is sent by God, gives freely of the
Spirit, tells the truth and is not believed. Those who believe know that God is
true. The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands. The Son
brings eternal life to those who believe.

Prayer
Ezekiel 1: 1 – 14 and 22 – 28b
Ezekiel has a vision that includes symbols of God’s
glory: intelligence, mobility, strength and all seeing. It is a vision of the
glory of God.
Ezekiel describes the scene of his vision above the
angels and that he sees an appearance of the likeness of the glory of God.
Psalm 148
This psalm calls on every part of creation -
absolutely everything - to praise and glorify God.
1 Timothy 1: 12 – 17
Here Paul testifies that he was a great sinner; a
blasphemer, a persecutor and person of violence and that Christ’s great grace,
and patience now fills him with faith and love. He honours and praises the
“King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God”.
