Adoring God In Deteronomy 7

Praise God for His Faithfulness

Moses’ second sermon begins in
chapter 5 and extends thru chap 26.
He opens with a reputation of the
Ten Commandments (hence the
name Deuteronomy – second law)
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 pagan occupants of
Canaan is assured as long as the
people obey God’s commands.
They will prevail, not because
of their strength, but because of
their Faithful all-conquering God.

All Praise be to The Faithful God:
The Lord your God has chosen
you to be a people for Himself…
The Lord did not… choose you
because you were more in number
than any other people, for you were
the least of all peoples (Deut 7:6-7)
It was because the Lord loved you
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, from 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 and mercy…
with those who love Him and                         keep His commandmends (v8-9).

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 loving kindness and faithfulness.        
Thank You Lord for the recording of
Your Word for us so that through  
endurance, the encouragement
of scriptures and of Your Spirit,
we might have hope in the fulfilment              
of Your promise. In Jesus’ name.

Lord, Your faithfulness reminds me               that I’m not always faithful to You.     Although I have a heart to be faithful               to You, situations arise that evoke               fears and doubt, tempting me to                 make choices of self-preservation                 and selfishness. And I confess                         that I am not fully faithful to You.                   Help me Lord to do much better;                   Help me see things from Your
perspective & not give up. Amen.

Lord, remind us again and again                           of Your faithfulness so that we                          will grow to be more like You.
Strengthen our resolve to believe            
You’re indeed the Faithful God El         Emunah; for U can’t make promises
that You can’t keep for You can’t lie.
So we will wait patiently upon Your
word for delay is not denial. And
we trust Your promises will come to            
pass at the appointed time. Amen.

Lord of mercy, You hv heard my cry
Thru 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. Amen.
