Lord –
As nations conspire and people plot…as kings and rulers set themselves against You…derisive laughter comes from heaven.
As we threaten to burst Your bond with the Anointed and to cast Your cords from us…derisive laughter comes from heaven.
For the Anointed is set on Your holy hill. Begotten by You, the nations are the Anointed’s heritage – the ends of the earth, the Anointed’s possession.
All things bonded and corded in You. May we be wise and take refuge in Your holy hill.
Amen.
(Transfiguration Sunday is February 19.)
