When Bartimaeus heard
that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby,
he began to shout,
“Jesus,
Son of David,
have mercy on me!”
“What do you want me to do for you?”
Jesus asked.
“My Rabbi,”
the blind man said,
“I want to see!”
And Jesus said to him,
“Go,
for your faith has healed you.”
Instantly the man could see…

Then,
after doing all those things,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on servants—
men and women alike.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
But blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,
you make righteous judgments,
and you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets…
(Monument Valley)
But the LORD made the earth by his power,
and he preserves it by his wisdom.
With his own understanding he
he stretched out the heavens.
…He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including Israel,
how own special possession.
The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

LORD,
there is no one like you!
For you are great,
and your name is full of power.
Who would not fear you,
O King of nations?
That title belongs to you alone!
Among all the wise people of the earth
and in all the kingdoms of the world,
there is no one like you.
This is what the LORD says:
“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,
or the powerful boast in their power,
or the rich boast in their riches.
But those who wish to boast
should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me
and understand that I am the LORD
who demonstrates unfailing love
and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
and that I delight in these things.
I,
the LORD,
have spoken!”
“Stop at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for the old,
godly way,
and walk in it.
Travel its path,
and you will find rest for your souls…”
“I knew you
before I formed you in your mother’s womb…
…you must go wherever I send you
and say whatever I tell you.
And don’t be afraid of the people,
for I will be with you and will protect you…
…Look,
I have put my words in your mouth!”
