1. Let us go to the house of the Lord Isaiah 2:2
2. Let us walk in the light of the Lord given to us through His word Isaiah 2:5
3. Let us cast away whatever idols of the heart that we may have Isaiah 2:20

May the Lord be exalted in our Church and in our hearts! Let us take time to dwell on the Lord’s blessings that He has bestowed on us!
