Deuteronomy 7:7-13


7 The Lord did not set his love upon you,
nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people;
for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord loved you,
and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers,
hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand,
and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen,
from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God,
he is God, the faithful God,
which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and
keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face,
to destroy them:
he will not be slack to him that hateth him,
he will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments,
and the statutes, and the judgments,
which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass,
if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep,
and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant
and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee,
and multiply thee:
he will also bless the fruit of thy womb,
and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine,
and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep,
in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We come into your presence and kneel before your throne,
asking you with all our hearts for your Spirit,
so that our lives may be guided and ruled by you,
the one God and Creator of all life.
Let your Word come into our hearts.
Give your blessing on all we experience in life and on
all we ask of you as we stand before you.
We are weak and poor. We can achieve nothing,
and our hearts are weary. But you can strengthen us.
You can make everything come right to reveal your
kingdom throughout the world.
Then all the people of our time may come to know that your will
for the earth is not distress and suffering,
but your goodness, your life, and your eternity.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
