As for Me and My House ... We’ll Show Hospitality

Psalm 65

Rev. Becca Jones

Psalm 65 speaks powerfully of God's hospitality toward people and the earth. The psalm is a song of praise and thanksgiving for God's provision and grace, which can inspire and inform our own practice of hospitality towards one another. As God treated us and the world, so we should treat one another.
