Zephaniah 3:14-16
Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm. On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
“I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach. Behold, at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you. I will save the lame and gather the scattered; and I will appoint praise and fame for the disgraced throughout the earth. At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you. For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your captives before your very eyes,” says the LORD.

What does God forbid in the eighth commandment?
God forbids not only outright theft and robbery, punishable by law. But in God’s sight theft also includes all scheming and swindling in order to get our neighbor’s goods for ourselves, whether by force or means that appear legitimate, such as inaccurate measurements of weight, size, or volume; fraudulent merchandising; counterfeit money; excessive interest; or any other means forbidden by God. In addition God forbids all greed and pointless squandering of his gifts.

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
John 7:23 (BSB)
The season
Ordinary Time — the long green season after Pentecost
From the day after Pentecost until Advent begins in late November — roughly half the year, all summer and autumn.
"Ordinary" here does not mean unremarkable. It comes from the same root as "ordinal" — these are the counted weeks, numbered one after another from Pentecost all the way to Advent. It is the longest season of the church year, roughly half of it, covering the whole green stretch of summer and autumn, and it has no headline feast to organize it. That is deliberate. The festival half of the year announces what God has done — birth, death, resurrection, Spirit. Ordinary Time is where the church practises living as if all of that were true, in weeks that look exactly like the ones before them. It opens with Trinity Sunday, naming the whole mystery at once, and it ends with the last Sundays turning toward judgment and hope, just before Advent starts the year again in the dark. Most of the Christian life is lived here. The season simply admits it.
The 13th week after Pentecost counts the church’s long walk of ordinary faithfulness between the Spirit’s arrival and the year’s end.
Green — the color of things that grow, worn for the long season of ordinary growth.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear; It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.
Dear Name, the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place; My never-failing treasure, filled With boundless stores of grace.
The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:3 (BSB)
I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
Psalm 119:11 (BSB)
Which of your habits would you defend the hardest, and why that one?
To have peace with God, to have strength to walk before God, is the sum of the great promises of the covenant of grace. In these things is the life of our souls.
John Owen · Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers
1I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You. 2May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering. 3Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips. 4Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies. 5Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked. 6When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant. 7As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. 8But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless. 9Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers. 10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Psalm 141 (BSB)
