Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:8-14 & Psalm 25:1-10
Deuteronomy 30:8-14 (NRSV)
Then you shall again obey the Lord, observing all his commandments that I am commanding you today, 9 and the Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all your undertakings, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil. For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in prospering your ancestors, 10 when you obey the Lord your God by observing his commandments and decrees that are written in this book of the law, because you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?” 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?” 14 No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.
Psalm 25:1-10 (The Message)
1-2 My head is high, God, held high; I’m looking to you, God; no hangdog skulking for me.
3 I’ve thrown in my lot with you; You won’t embarrass me, will you?
Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don’t embarrass any of us who went out on a limb for you.
It’s the traitors who should be humiliated.
It’s the traitors who should be humiliated.
4 Show me how you work, God; school me in your ways.
5 Take me by the hand; lead me down the path of truth.
You are my Savior, aren’t you?
You are my Savior, aren’t you?
6 Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God; rebuild the ancient landmarks!
7 Forget that I sowed wild oats; mark me with your sign of love.
Plan only the best for me, God!
Plan only the best for me, God!
8 God is fair and just; He corrects the misdirected, sends them in the right direction.
9 He gives the rejects his hand, And leads them step-by-step.
10 From now on every road you travel will take you to God.
Follow the Covenant signs; read the charted directions.
