I WILL SHEW FORTH ALL THY MARVELLOUS WORKS. I WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN THEE: I WILL SING PRAISES TO THY NAME, O THOU MOST HIGH

Today, hopefully, we will be celebrating the anniversary of the coronation of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I. Transfiguration Day. This is what the H.I.M. Church (International) says…

“Sunday, November 2nd 1930 – This day represents the Holy Day, the Transfiguration Day of Negus Ras Tafari to

Emperor Haile Selassie I, ‘Might of the Trinity’; fulfilling Revelation 5v5:

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the

Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to

open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Today, because we are celebrating, I thought that this hymn of praise would be good…

Psalm 138

1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.

3 When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed.

5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.

8 The LORD will vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.

Prayers

Today we give thanks to JAH for our blessings on this festival day.

Old Testament Reading

Isaiah 40: 28-31

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
