  23. Isaiah 35:1-10 3Here is a message for all who are weak, trembling, and worried: 4"Cheer up! Don't be afraid. Your God is coming to punish your enemies. God will take revenge on them and rescue you."

  25. Isaiah 35:1-10 Water will rush through the desert. 7Scorching sand will turn into a lake, and thirsty ground will flow with fountains. Grass will grow in wetlands, where packs of wild dogs once made their home.

  26. Isaiah 35:1-10 8A good road will be there, and it will be named "God's Sacred Highway." It will be for God's people; no one unfit to worship God will walk on that road. And no fools can travel on that highway. 9No lions or other wild animals will come near that road; only those the LORD has saved will travel there.

  27. Isaiah 35:1-10 10The people the LORD has rescued will come back singing as they enter Zion. Happiness will be a crown they will always wear. They will celebrate and shout because all sorrows and worries will be gone far away. This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.

  28. Psalm 146:5-10 CEV R: The Psalm is Psalm 146. 5The LORD God of Jacob blesses everyone who trusts him and depends on him. C: 6God made heaven and earth; he created the sea and everything else. God always keeps his word.

  29. Psalm 146:5-10 CEV R: 7He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free C: 8and heals blind eyes. He gives a helping hand to everyone who falls. The LORD loves good people R: 9and looks after strangers. He defends the rights of orphans and widows, but destroys the wicked.

  30. Psalm 146:5-10 CEV C: 10The LORD God of Zion will rule forever! Shout praises to the LORD! Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

  32. James 5:7-10 R: 7My friends, be patient until the Lord returns. Think of farmers who wait patiently for the spring and summer rains to make their valuable crops grow. 8Be patient like those farmers and don't give up. The Lord will soon be here!

  33. James 5:7-10 9Don't grumble about each other or you will be judged, and the judge is right outside the door. 10My friends, follow the example of the prophets who spoke for the Lord. They were patient, even when they had to suffer. This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
