00:17 Hello, and welcome to His Words are Life.
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank you for joining with me, 00:21 to read the Word of God together. 00:22 David wrote in the Psalms, Bless the Lord, O my soul. 00:26 and forget not all of His Benefits. 00:28 And when we were last together, Moses had gathered Israelites 00:32 together to review with him the benefits of the Lord 00:35 how he had delivered them from Egypt, and brought them safely 00:37 to the promised land. Before we pick up that story 00:40 in Deuteronomy today, let's pray together. 00:42 Dear Jesus, thank you for preserving this record 00:46 for us, for our encouragement today. May we learn from 00:52 the past that you are to be obeyed and trusted implicitly; 00:56 that you will bring us safely at last to the future 00:59 promise that you have for us. Please be with us now as we read 01:02 We love you so much and thank you for loving us. Amen 01:05 We're picking up the story of Moses, reviewing with 01:10 the Israelites, God's instructions and victories and 01:13 their story. In the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 4 01:17 and verse 35. This is the King James Version. 01:20 Unto thee, it was shewed, that thou mightest know 01:26 that the Lord, He is God. There is none else beside Him. 01:30 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might 01:34 instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; 01:38 and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. 01:41 And because he loved thy fathers therefore he chose their seed 01:46 after them and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty 01:49 power out of Egypt; to drive out nations from before thee 01:53 greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, 01:57 to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. 02:01 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, 02:06 that the Lord he is God in heaven above, 02:09 and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. 02:12 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, 02:17 which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, 02:20 and with thy children after thee and that thou mayest prolong 02:24 thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 02:27 forever. Then Moses severed 3 cities on this side Jordan 02:32 toward the sun rising; That the slayer might flee thither, 02:36 which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not 02:39 in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities, 02:43 he might live: Namely Bezer in the wilderness, 02:48 in the plain country, of the Reubenites; 02:50 and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; 02:54 and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. 02:58 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of 03:01 Israel: These are the testimonies, and the statutes 03:04 and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children 03:07 of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt, 03:09 on this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor. 03:14 in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, 03:16 who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel 03:20 smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt: 03:23 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og, 03:26 king of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, 03:29 which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; 03:31 from Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, 03:35 even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, and all the plain 03:39 on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, 03:43 under the springs of Pisgah. We're continuing now in 03:47 Deuteronomy, chapter 5, an this is the King James Version. 03:50 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, 03:56 the statutes and Judgments which I speak in your ears this day, 04:00 that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. 04:04 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 04:08 The Lord our God made not this covenant with our fathers, but 04:11 with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 04:16 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount 04:19 out of the midst of the fire, (I stood between the Lord 04:23 and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: 04:25 for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into 04:30 the mount;) saying, I am the Lord thy God, 04:34 which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house 04:37 of bondage. Thou shalt have none other gods before me. 04:41 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness 04:45 of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth 04:48 beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 04:51 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: 04:55 for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 04:58 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 05:01 unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 05:04 and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my 05:09 commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord 05:12 thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless 05:15 that taketh his name in vain. Keep the Sabbath day 05:19 to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. 05:23 Six days thou shalt labour and do all thy work: 05:25 But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: 05:28 in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son 05:32 nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, 05:34 nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, 05:38 nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger, 05:40 that is within thy gates; that thy manservant 05:42 and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. 05:44 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, 05:48 and that the Lord thy God brought the out thence 05:50 through a mighty hand an by a stretched out arm: 05:53 therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep 05:57 the Sabbath day. Honour thy father and thy mother, 06:00 as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; 06:02 that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well 06:05 with thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 06:08 Thou shalt not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 06:13 Neither shalt thou steal. Neither shalt thou bear false 06:17 witness against thy neighbor. Neither shalt thou desire thy 06:21 neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, 06:24 his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, 06:27 or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbor's. 06:29 These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount 06:34 out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick 06:37 darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. 06:41 And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered the 06:45 unto me. And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice 06:49 out of the midst of the darkness 06:52 that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, 06:55 and your elders; And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God 06:59 hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard 07:02 his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day 07:06 that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. 07:08 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume 07:13 us if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, 07:16 then we shall die. For who is there of all flesh, that hath 07:20 heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst 07:23 of the fire as we have, and lived? Go thou near, 07:27 and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou 07:30 unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; 07:33 and we will hear it, and do it. And the Lord heard the voice 07:38 of your words when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, 07:42 I have heard the voice of the words of this people, 07:45 which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said 07:48 all that they have spoken. 07:51 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me 07:56 and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well 07:59 with them, and with their children forever! 08:01 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 08:05 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, 08:08 and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, 08:11 and the statutes and the judgments, 08:13 which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them 08:16 in the land which I give them to possess it. 08:18 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God 08:23 hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand 08:26 or to the left. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord 08:30 your God hath commanded you, that you may live, 08:33 and that it may be well with you and that ye may prolong 08:36 your days in the land which ye shall possess. 08:39 Continuing in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 6 08:43 This is the King James Version. 08:45 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, 08:50 which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, 08:53 that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it 08:56 that thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, 08:58 to keep all his statutes and his commandments, 09:00 which I command thee, thou and thy son, and thy son's son, 09:04 all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 09:09 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; 09:13 that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase 09:16 mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, 09:19 in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 09:21 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: 09:26 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, 09:30 with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 09:32 And these words, which I command the this day, 09:36 shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them 09:40 diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them 09:45 when thou sittest in thine house, and then thou walkest 09:47 by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 09:51 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, 09:55 and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 09:58 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, 10:00 and on thy gates. And it shall be, when the Lord thy God 10:05 shall have brought thee into the land which he sware 10:07 unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 10:10 to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not, 10:14 and houses full of all good things which thou filledst not, 10:18 and wells digged, which thou diggest not, 10:20 vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; 10:23 when thou shalt have eaten and be full; then beware lest thou 10:29 forget the Lord, which brought the forth out of the land 10:32 of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 10:34 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God and serve him, and shalt swear 10:38 by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, 10:40 of the gods of the people which are round about you; 10:46 lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, 10:49 and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. 10:51 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him 10:55 in Massah. Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of 10:58 the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, 11:01 which he hath commanded thee. And thou shalt do that which is 11:04 right and good in the sight of the Lord: 11:07 that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in 11:11 and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, 11:14 to cast out all thine enemies from before thee, 11:17 as the Lord hath spoken. And when thy son asketh thee 11:21 in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, 11:24 and the statutes, and the judgments, 11:26 which the Lord our God hath commanded you? 11:28 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, 11:31 We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us 11:35 out of Egypt with a mighty hand: And the Lord shewed signs 11:39 and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, 11:42 and upon all his household, before our eyes: 11:44 And he brought us out from thence, 11:46 that he might bring us in, to give us the land 11:48 which he sware unto our fathers. 11:50 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, 11:54 to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, 11:57 that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 12:01 And it shall be our righteousness, 12:03 if we observe to do all these commandments 12:05 before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. 12:08 Continuing in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 7. 12:12 This is the King James Version. 12:14 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land 12:18 whither thou goest to possess it and hath cast out many nations 12:22 before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, 12:24 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, 12:26 and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 12:29 seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 12:32 and when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; 12:36 thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; 12:38 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 12:43 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; 12:45 thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, 12:48 nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 12:50 For they will turn away thy son from following me, 12:54 that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord 12:57 be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 13:00 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy 13:04 their altars, and break down their images, and cut down 13:07 their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 13:11 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: 13:15 The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people 13:19 unto himself, above all people 13:21 that are upon the face of the earth. 13:22 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you 13:26 because you were more in number than any people; 13:29 for ye were the fewest of all people: 13:31 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep 13:35 the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, 13:37 hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, 13:40 and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, 13:43 from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 13:45 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, 13:49 the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with 13:53 them that love him and keep his commandments 13:56 to a thousand generations; and repayeth them that hate him 13:59 to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that 14:04 hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 14:07 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, 14:10 and the judgments, which I command the this day, 14:12 to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken 14:17 to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord 14:21 thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy 14:24 which he sware unto thy fathers. 14:26 Thank you for joining with me to read today. 14:29 Please join me again and until then, 14:31 may God bless and keep us all. |
