Passage:
1 Now Korah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men. 2 And they rose up before Moses, with a number of the people of Israel, 250 chiefs of the congregation, chosen from the assembly, well-known men. 3 They assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! For all in the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”
(Numbers 16:1-3)
Song:
Open Space by Kirby Kaple and Rob Kaple
Lyrics:
Pull me in closer close to Your heart
May I be a pure reflection of all You are
Love that is patient love that is kind
A love that keeps no offenses or wrongs in mind
Make me like Jesus
Make me like Jesus
My heart is an open space
For You to come and have Your way
I'm open I'm open
You're faithful to find me right where I am
Even in my wandering You call me friend
Mercy receives me and lifts me to my feet
And I'm caught up in the wonder and mystery
Of knowing Jesus
Of knowing Jesus
Do whatever You want to do
Say whatever You want to say
Move however You want to move
Change whatever You want to change
What are You saying
Where are You going
My heart is open wide
My eyes are open wide
Prayer:
O Lord, grant that I may not be puffed up with worldly wisdom,
which passes away,
but may be built up in love.
May I submit to your will
and not seek to please myself or others,
but only you.
Amen.
—John Calvin
