    Deuteronomy 10 (Final Episode)

    Passage: 12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good? 14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. 15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.” (Deuteronomy 10:12–15 ESV) Song: Instrument of Peace by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we’re given life Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Prayer: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. -A prayer attributed to St. Francis (ca. 1181–1226) of Assisi, Italy

    Deuteronomy 9

    Passage: 3 Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the LORD your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you… 4 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, “It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,” 6 Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people. (Deuteronomy 9:3–4, 6 ESV) Song: All My Boast is in Jesus by Bryan Fowler, Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, and Matt Papa Lyrics: What wonder of wonders what love is this That Christ would die for me His goodness His merit His righteousness This sinner’s only plea O foolish pride be crucified The work is finished All my boast is in Jesus All my hope is His love And I will glory forever In what the cross has done Now fully forgiven my life is filled With graces undeserved For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill Let praises now return Rise up my soul and bless the Lord Who else is worthy O praise the One forever blessed Him alone my heart adores And I will boast in nothing less Than the love of Christ my Lord I boast not in riches in strength or might But in the grace of God I glory in weakness to live is Christ In plenty or in want That I may know that all may see His pow’r within me Now I stand in His freedom Ransomed clean in His sight And I cannot be ashamed for My boast is Jesus Christ My boast is Jesus Christ Forever my boast is Jesus Christ Prayer: Almighty God, eternal Father, we have sat at your feet, learned from your word, and eaten from your table. We give you thanks and praise for accepting us into your family. Send us out with your blessing, to live and to witness for you in the power of your Spirit, through Jesus Christ, the firstborn from the dead. Amen. -From the Eucharistic Rite of the Anglican Church in Kenya

    Passage: 2 And 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. 3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna… 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.

The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers…” (Deuteronomy 7:6–8 ESV) Song: Chosen by Alvymarie Rodriguez, Danielle Cruz, Jeffrey Todd McVicker, and Sean Hill Lyrics: How sweet it is to be loved by a King How kind it is to be called by Majesty How wonderful to fully know that I am Yours How can it be I am favored in Your eyes How can You see I'm a child of Your delight How beautiful to always know that I am Yours Oh I am Yours Oh I am chosen I am Yours Oh I am chosen I am Yours You call me out to be Your hands and feet For here and now a light for all to see I'll show Your love and tell the world That they are Yours Oh they are Yours Oh we are chosen we are Yours Oh we are chosen we are Yours Adorned in robes of royalty The Bride of Christ can stand and sing We're forever chosen We're forever chosen Hear the sound of people free Sing the song of the redeemed We're forever chosen We're forever chosen Hallelujah we are chosen we are Yours Hallelujah we are chosen we are Yours We're forever chosen We're forever chosen We're forever chosen We're forever chosen Prayer: Preserve your work, Lord.

    Psalm 85

    Passage: 8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. (Psalm 85:8–11 ESV) Song: Your Will Be Done by Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson Lyrics: Your will be done my God and Father As in heaven so on earth My heart is drawn to self-exalting Help me seek Your kingdom first As Jesus walked so shall I walk Held by Your same unchanging love Be still my soul O lift your voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done How in that garden he persisted I may never fully know The fearful weight of true obedience It was held by him alone What wondrous faith to bear that cross To bear my sin what wondrous love My hope was sure when there my Saviour prayed Father not my will but Yours be done When I am lost when I am broken In the night of fear and doubt Still I will trust in my good Father Yes to one great King I bow As Jesus rose so I shall rise In ransomed glory at the throne My heart restored with all Your saints I sing Father not my will but Yours be done As we go forth our God and Father Lead us daily in the fight That all the world might see Your glory And Your Name be lifted high And in this Name we overcome For You shall see us safely home Now as Your church we lift our voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done And in this Name we overcome For You shall see us safely home Now as Your church we lift our voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done Father not my will but Yours be done Father not my will but Yours be done Prayer: You, Lord, have become my hope, my comfort, my strength, my all! In you does my soul rejoice. The darkness vanished from before my eyes, and I beheld you, the sun of righteousness. When I loved darkness, I knew you not, but wandered on from night to night. But you led me out of that blindness; you took me by the hand and called me to yourself, and now I can thank you, and your mighty voice which has penetrated to my inmost heart. Amen. -Augustine

    Psalm 81

    Passage: 8 “Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! 9 There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. 10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. 12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13 Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!” (Psalm 81:8–13 ESV) Song: Yes, Jesus, I Receive by Avery Collins Lyrics: Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive The waiting 'cause Your timing's perfect Yes Jesus I receive Remaining still when I want to act Yes Jesus I receive Desiring Your will and not my own Yes Jesus I receive Saying yes to joy through it all Yes Jesus I receive Going out into the dark night Yes Jesus I receive The crosses You have for me Yes Jesus I receive The pain and the suffering Yes Jesus I receive Embracing death 'cause I was made for eternity Yes Jesus I receive All that You will for me Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Prayer: Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. -Book of Common Prayer
