Blow
the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming.
It is close at hand-
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness.
"Even
now," declares the Lord,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning."
Rend your heart and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love."
(Joel 2:1-2a, 12-13, NIV)

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Cleanse
me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Create
in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
(Psalm 51:1-2, 7, 10, NIV)

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth
and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But
store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and
rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also. (Matthew 6:19-21, NIV) |
