Reading
Deuteronomy 30:1–20
1“And
when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse,
which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the
nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2and
return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his
voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with
all your soul, 3then the Lord your God will restore your
fortunes and have compassion on you, and he will gather you again
from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4If
your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the
Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5And
the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers
possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more
prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6And the Lord
your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring,
so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul, that you may live. 7And the Lord your God
will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted
you. 8And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and
keep all his commandments that I command you today. 9The
Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of
your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle
and in the fruit of your ground. For the Lord will again take delight
in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, 10when
you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and
his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn
to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11“For
this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you,
neither is it far off. 12It is not in heaven, that you
should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us,
that we may hear it and do it?’ 13Neither is it beyond
the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and
bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14But
the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so
that you can do it.
15“See,
I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.
16If
you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you
today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by
keeping his commandments and his statutes and his just decrees then
you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in
the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
17But
if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away
to worship other gods and serve them, 18I declare to you
today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the
land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19I
call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life,
that you and your offspring may live, 20loving the Lord
your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your
life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give
them.”
Collect
Faithful
God, whose mercies are new to us every morning, we humbly pray that
You would look upon us in mercy and renew us by Your Holy Spirit.
Keep safe our going out and our coming in, and let Your blessing
remain with us throughout this day. Preserve us in Your
righteousness, and grant us a portion in that eternal life which is
in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

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.

Prayer

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.
