Wednesday, May 28th | Psalm 81

Passage:
8 “Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 There shall be no strange god among you;
you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel would not submit to me.
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,
to follow their own counsels.
13 Oh, that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would walk in my ways!”

(Psalm 81:8–13 ESV)

Song:
Yes, Jesus, I Receive by Avery Collins

Lyrics:
Yes Jesus I receive
Yes Jesus I receive
Yes Jesus I receive

The waiting 'cause Your timing's perfect
Yes Jesus I receive
Remaining still when I want to act
Yes Jesus I receive
Desiring Your will and not my own
Yes Jesus I receive
Saying yes to joy through it all
Yes Jesus I receive

Going out into the dark night
Yes Jesus I receive
The crosses You have for me
Yes Jesus I receive
The pain and the suffering
Yes Jesus I receive
Embracing death 'cause I was made for eternity
Yes Jesus I receive
All that You will for me
Yes Jesus I receive

Yes Jesus I receive
Yes Jesus I receive

Prayer:
Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
-Book of Common Prayer
