Our Hebrew Lesson comes from Isaiah 12:2-6

Surely God is my salvation;

 I will trust, and will not be afraid,

for the LORD GOD is my strength and my might;

 he has become my salvation.

3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in

that day:

Give thanks to the LORD,

 call on his name;

make known his deeds among the nations;

 proclaim that his name is exalted.

5 Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously;

 let this be known in all the earth.

6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion,

 for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Our Epistle Lesson comes from Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be

known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in

everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be

made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!
