Monday, August 18 — Psalm 99
Joshua 21:9-45; Luke 17:11-19
There shall once more be heard the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, “Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Jeremiah 33:10,11
Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them, can they?” Mark 2:19
Christ Jesus, with joy and gladness we celebrate your presence in our world and in our individual lives. May we always share and communicate that joy in our interactions with those around us. Amen.
