Isaiah 26:1-6. Matthew 7:21, 24-27

The Kingdom of the living God is an eternal kingdom founded on truth and justice, righteousness and love. The Lord God reigns in His whole creation: the upright and the true of heart acknowledge, serve and worship Him in love and in self-giving; communities and nations which seek to live according to His will and loving purpose prosper and bring forth fruits for future generations. Those who serve only their selfish and limited needs wither and die, having turned aside from the light and life offered them.

But the Stone which the builders rejected has become The Corner - Stone in the building of the living God. Let the upright and the faithful ’trust in the Lord forever for He is The Everlasting Rock’. It is also written ‘Thou wilt keep him perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee’.
