Reading
Deuteronomy 8:1–20
1“The
whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to
do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land
that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. 2And you
shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these
forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you
to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his
commandments or not. 3And he humbled you and let you
hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your
fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by
bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of
the Lord. 4Your clothing did not wear out on you and your
foot did not swell these forty years. 5Know then in your
heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God
disciplines you. 6So you shall keep the commandments of
the Lord your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. 7For
the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks
of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and
hills, 8a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees
and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, 9a land
in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack
nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can
dig copper. 10And you shall eat and be full, and you shall
bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
11“Take
care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his
commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you
today, 12lest, when you have eaten and are full and have
built good houses and live in them, 13and when your herds
and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all
that you have is multiplied, 14then your heart be lifted
up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15who led you
through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents
and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who
brought you water out of the flinty rock, 16who fed you in
the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he
might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. 17Beware
lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have
gotten me this wealth.’ 18You shall remember the Lord
your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may
confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this
day. 19And if you forget the Lord your God and go after
other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today
that you shall surely perish. 20Like the nations that the
Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you
would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

The
Seventh Commandment
You
shall not steal.
What
does this mean?
We
should fear and love God so that we do not take our neighbor's money
or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to
improve and protect his possessions and income.
Apostles'
Creed
C I
believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker
of heaven and earth.
And
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died and was buried.
He
descended into hell.
The
third day He rose again from the dead.
He
ascended into heaven
and
sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From
thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
holy Christian Church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and
the life T everlasting.
Amen.
Lord's
Prayer
C Our
Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
