October 17, 2016 - GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES


Day 291 - Deuteronomy Monday (chapters 1-3)

“See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and their offspring after them.” (Deuteronomy 1:8 ESV)


“Through many trials, God raises a generation in Israel and brings them to the planes of Moab just east of the Jordan River. The Promised Land is in their sight. God’s covenant promise is sure. He keeps His word to His people, including His word to you. Rejoice in the Lord’s faithfulness as you share His testimonies with others. The Gospel is fresh and precious for every new generation.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 277)

Thank the Lord and sing His praise; tell ev'ryone what He has done.
Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and proudly bear His name.  
He recalls His promises and leads His people forth in joy with shouts of thanksgiving.  
Alleluia, alleluia. 
      (The Lutheran Service Book, CPH, 2006, Divine Service One, Post Communion Canticle)
          
Heavenly Father, thank You for recalling Your promise to all of Your people, including me. Help me to tell everyone what You have done, for Your glory and for their salvation. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.

Pastor David Paape
