December 17th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
Born thy people to deliver, born a child, and yet a king; born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring. By thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; by thine all sufficient merit raise us to thy glorious throne. ("Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus" - Text: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788)

God's Word of the Day
Look at the evidence; the blind see and the deaf hear, people are healed and there is a peace that surpasses the comprehension of the peace you know on earth. Look at the evidence and the presence of Me and know that I am with you to save you and give you life. Do you see the evidence?
