Mark 8:1-21, Jeremiah 40-44

Jeremiah 44:28 – [They] shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

O Lord, throughout the ages you have proven yourself to be trustworthy and faithful.  You have kept your Word.  Time after time we see it happen.  You promise to punish and discipline your people and you do.  You promise to come to the rescue of your people and you do.  You promise watch over to protect and you do.  You promised to send your Son and you did.  You promised to send out your Holy Spirit and you did.  You promised to send out your Word and your gospel into all the world and I’ve heard of it.  Lord, your Word and your promises are standing and true.  They were true and trustworthy the moment you spoke them.  They remain true.  Your Word and your promise stands.  Help me to take you at your Word and to trust you whole heartedly.  Amen.
