Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Isaiah 55:6-9 (NKJV)
Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Prayer
Worthy, worthy, worthy are You, O Lord, to be blessed, honored and praised! No one is like You. You alone are holy and set apart from all Your creation. I bow in humble worship and adoration of You, Almighty God. Sustainer of all, Lover of our souls, we give You thanks for all Your gracious kindness. Be exalted in our worship today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-11 A HYMN OF ETERNITY 人生短暫
Psalm 90:1-6; 9b; 12-17 (NKJV)
Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
You turn man to destruction,
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
...
We finish our years like a sigh.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Return, O LORD!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
Thank You for the breath of life I have today. Most especially thank You for the eternal life I have in Christ. May it never slip my mind even for a moment that apart from Your mercy I can drop dead any time. Keep me humble and thankful and live in that truth, glorifying You.
Forgive my foolish heart that craves for whatever You withhold from me. Let me not be deceived to believe that You are depriving me of something good. This is the LIE of the enemy. Open my eyes to see the unending blessings that You constantly give. Thank You for Your goodness and lovingkindness.
Father, bless the marriages of Your children. The Enemy has attempted to destroy the sacredness of marriage since the beginning. Help me uphold Your original design of marriage between one man and one woman. Let not the pressure of society force me to accept any kind of marital union of which You have not ordained. Help me be a voice of truth that echoes in this dark world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
