Thanksgiving in Deut 7 (Jan 9)

Thank God for His Faithfulness

Moses’ second sermon begins in
chap 5 & extends thro Chap 26.
He opens with a repetition of the
Ten Commandments and exhorts
the people to obey the Lord from
a heart of love, to teach their
children obedience and to be
careful not to forget the Lord in
times of prosperity. Victory over
the pagan occupants of Canaan
is assured as long as the people
faithfully obeys God’s commands.

All Praise be to The Faithful God:
It was because the Lord loved u
and kept the oath he swore to
your forefathers that he brought
you out with a mighty hand and
redeemed you from the land of
slavery, fr the power of Pharaoh
king of Egypt. Know therefore
that the Lord your God is God;
he is the faithful God El Emunah
who keeps covenant (Deut 7:8-9)

Father God, we adore You for the
faithfulness you show to us even
when we are unfaithful to you.
We praise you for your covenant
of love and of faithfulness to us.
Thank you for recording Yr Word
for us so that thro endurance and
the encouragement of scriptures,
we might have hope in the
fulfilment of Your promise. Amen.

Lord, Your Faithfulness reminds me
that I’m not always faithful to you.
Although I’ve a heart to be faithful
to you, situations arise that evoke
fears and doubt, tempting me to
make choices of self-preservation
and selfishness. Grant me the
grace to see things from your
perspective & not give up. Amen.

Lord, remind us of Yr Faithfulness
so that we’ll grow to be more like U.
Strengthen the resolve in our
spirit to believe You are faithful;
and you can’t make promises
you can’t keep for you can’t lie.
So we wait patiently upon your
word for delay is not denial.
And your promises shall come to
pass at the appointed time. Amen

Lord of mercy, U have heard my cry
Thro the storm You’re the beacon
My song in the night.
In the shelter of Your wings
Hear my heart’s reply,
Singing what a faithful God have I.
What a faithful God have I
What a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I
Faithful in every way.
