The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne. If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
You have fulfilled Your covenant; You have set a Son of David upon Your Throne to rule Your Creation with justice and with love. You, O LORD, are faithful; recognizing that Your people are failing and weak, You gave them the Perfect Sacrifice, Your Holy Lamb, God as Man, to deliver us from the snares of the Evil One. Make Your Church to shine as His Bride bringing the message of peace, salvation and transformation to all of mankind. Praise You, LORD God, the Almighty One.
