Here are this week's scriptures for study and meditation:
Psalm 102:15-22 The nations will honor the Lord's name; all the earth's rulers will honor your glory because the Lord will rebuild Zion; he will be seen there in his glory. God will turn to the prayer of the impoverished; he won't despise their prayers. Let this be written down for the next generation so that people not yet created will praise the Lord; the Lord looked down from his holy summit, surveyed the earth from heaven, to hear the prisoners' groans, to set free those condemned to death, that the
Lord's name may be declared in Zion and his praise declared in Jerusalem, when all people are gathered together —all kingdoms—to serve the Lord.
Numbers 3:5-10 The Lord spoke to Moses: Bring near the tribe of Levi and place them before Aaron the priest. They will assist him. They will perform the duties for him and for the entire community before the meeting tent, doing the work of the dwelling. They will be responsible for all the equipment of the meeting tent and the duties on behalf of the Israelites when they do the work of the dwelling. You will give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They have been assigned as a gift to him from the Israelites. You will appoint Aaron and his sons to be responsible for the priesthood. Any other person who approaches will be put to death.
Matthew 17:1-7 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain. He was transformed in front of them. His face shown like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, “Lord, it's good that we're here. If you want, I'll make three shrines: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son whom I dearly love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!” Hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces, filled with awe. But Jesus came and touched
them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
Acts 13:1-3 The church at Antioch included prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (nicknamed Niger), Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen (a childhood friend of Herod the ruler), and Saul. As they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to undertake.” After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on these two and sent them off.
