Dare to Have a Purpose True

Daniel 3

Call to Worship: Psalm 86:8-12 (NIV)

⁸      Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
              no deeds can compare with yours.
⁹      All the nations you have made
              will come and worship before you, Lord;
              they will bring glory to your name.
¹⁰      For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
              you alone are God.

¹¹      Teach me your way, Lord,
              that I may rely on your faithfulness;
          give me an undivided heart,
              that I may fear your name.
¹²      I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
              I will glorify your name forever.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 115:1-9 (NIV)

¹      Not to us, Lord, not to us
              but to your name be the glory,
              because of your love and faithfulness.

²      Why do the nations say,
              “Where is their God?”
³      Our God is in heaven;
              he does whatever pleases him.
⁴      But their idols are silver and gold,
              made by human hands.
⁵      They have mouths, but cannot speak,
              eyes, but cannot see.
⁶      They have ears, but cannot hear,
              noses, but cannot smell.
⁷      They have hands, but cannot feel,
              feet, but cannot walk,
              nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸      Those who make them will be like them,
              and so will all who trust in them.

⁹      All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—
              he is their help and shield.
