38, 356, 060817 response reading 38. psalms 92. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." hymnal 356 1. War of the soul is invitation: Shout forth Jesus' name; His holy glory and salvation Far abroad proclaim! In the warfare of the soul, O, my Lord, take full control. O, Captain, lead! 'Tis Thee I need, O, Thou lover of man's soul! 2. A people beneath sin's vast dominion Save, Lord, make Thine own, Thy people, of Thy Glory Kingdom, Gathered to Thy throne. In the warfare of the soul, O, my Lord, take full control. O, Captain, lead! 'Tis Thee I need, O, Thou lover of man's soul! 3. For strength to my soul's foe's dispelling, Whom shall I entreat? Already Christ hath conquered, quelling Satan beneath His feet. In the warfare of the soul, O, my Lord, take full control. O, Captain, lead! 'Tis Thee I need, O, Thou lover of man's soul! 4. Remake me, Lord, hell's pains to sever, New strength give to me, That in that strength I might forever Live in victory! In the warfare of the soul, O, my Lord, take full control. O, Captain, lead! 'Tis Thee I need, O, Thou lover of man's soul! Amen. 2 Kings 6:8-17 8 Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, "I will set up my camp in such and such a place." 9 The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: "Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there." 10 So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places. 11 This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, "Will you not tell me which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?" 12 "None of us, my lord the king," said one of his officers, "but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom." 13 "Go, find out where he is," the king ordered, "so I can send men and capture him." The report came back: "He is in Dothan." 14 Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. 16 "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen.
