barns and in all that you set your hand to do, and He will bless you in the 
land which the Lord your God is giving you.

I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after 
other gods to serve them.

voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I
command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all

all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God,
and walk in his ways.

of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
[11] And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the
land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
[12] The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the
rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
[13] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt
be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the
commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe
and to do them:
[14] And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee
this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve
them.

Warnings Against Disobedience

15 (Mal 2:2; Dt 28:2) But it will happen, if you will not listen to the voice

and beasts of the earth, and no man will frighten them away. 
27 (1Sa 5:6; Ex 9:9) The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt 
and with tumors, eczema, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. 
28 The Lord will strike you with madness, and blindness, 
and bewilderment of heart. 
29 (Job 5:14; Isa 59:10) You will grope at noon, as the blind man gropes 
in darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways. You will only be 
oppressed and continually robbed, and no man will save you.
30 (Am 5:11; Jer 8:10; Job 31:10) You will be engaged to a woman 
and another man shall rape her. You will build a house, 
but you will not dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, 
but you will not gather its grapes. 
31 Your ox will be killed before your eyes, and you will not eat of it. 
Your donkey will be violently taken away from before you 
and will not be returned to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, 
and you will have no one to rescue them.
32 (Dt 28:41; 2Ch 29:9) Your sons and your daughters will be given to another 
people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long, 
but there will be nothing you can do.

that cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.
36 (Dt 4:28; 2Ki 25:11) The Lord will bring you and your king, which you 
will set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, 
and there you will serve other gods, wood and stone. 
37 (Jer 24:9; 1Ki 9:7-8) You will become a horror, a proverb, and an object of
ridicule among all nations where the Lord shall lead you.
38 (Joel 1:4; Mic 6:15) You will carry a lot of seed out into the field 
but will gather but little in, for the locust will consume it. 
39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but will neither drink 
of the wine nor gather the grapes, for worms will eat them. 
40 (Mic 6:15) You will have olive trees throughout all your coasts, 
but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olive will drop off. 
41 (Dt 28:32; La 1:5) You will give birth to sons and daughters, but you will
 not enjoy them, for they will go into captivity. 
42 The locust will consume all of your trees and fruit of your land.
43 (Dt 28:13) The foreigner who resides with you will get up higher 
and higher, and you will go down lower and lower. 
44 (Dt 28:12-13) He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. 
He will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45 (Dt 28:15) Moreover, all of these curses will come on you 
and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, 
because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, 
by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.
46 (Isa 8:18; Eze 14:8) They will be a perpetual sign and wonder 
in regard to you and your descendants, 
47 because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy 
and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.
48 (Jer 28:13-14) Therefore, you will serve your enemies 
whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, thirst, nakedness, 
and need of all things, and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck 
until He has destroyed you.
49 (La 4:19; Hos 8:1) The Lord will bring a nation against you from
far away, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, 
a nation whose language you will not understand, 
50 (Isa 47:6; 2Ch 36:17) a nation with a fierce countenance, 
which will not respect the old or show favor to the young. 
51 (Dt 28:33; Isa 62:8) They will eat the offspring of your livestock 
and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed. 
They will leave you no grain, wine, or oil, or the offspring of your herd 
or the offspring of your sheep, until they have destroyed you.
52 He will lay siege on you in all your towns until your high 
and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout
 all your land, and he will lay siege on you in all your towns 
throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you.
53 (La 2:20; Lev 26:29; 2Ki 6:28-29) You will eat the offspring of your 
own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the 
Lord your God has given you, during the siege and distress 
in which your enemies will persecute you. 
54 (Dt 13:6; 15:9) The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, 
his eye shall be hostile toward his brother and toward his beloved wife 
and toward the rest of his children who remain, 
55 so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children 
which he will eat, because he has nothing left to him because of the siege 
and the distress by which your enemies will persecute you in all your towns. 
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture 
to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness 
and tenderness, will be hostile toward her beloved husband, 
and toward her son and her daughter, 
57 and toward her afterbirth that comes out from between her legs, 
and toward her children whom she will bear. For she will secretly 
eat them because of lack during the siege and distress in which 
your enemy will persecute you in your towns.
58 (Isa 42:8) If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law
that are written in this book so that you may fear this glorious 
and fearful name, the Lord your God, 
59 then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you 
and your descendants, even great long-lasting plagues, 
and severe and long-lasting sicknesses. 
60 (Dt 7:15) Moreover, He will bring all the diseases of Egypt upon you, 
which you were afraid of, and they will cling to you. 
61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the Book 
of the Law will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed. 
62 (Dt 4:27; 10:22) You will be left few in number, whereas you were 
as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you would not obey 
the voice of the Lord your God. 
63 (Pr 1:26; Jer 32:41) It will be that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do 
you good and to multiply you, so the Lord will take pleasure over you 
to destroy you and to bring you to nothing. You will be plucked from 
off the land which you go to possess.
64 (Lev 26:33; Dt 4:27-28) The Lord will scatter you among all the peoples, 
from the one end of the earth to the other, and there you will serve 
other gods, wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. 
65 (Lev 26:36; 26:16) Among these nations you will find no ease, nor will 
the sole of your foot have rest. But there the Lord will give you 
a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul. 
66 Your life shall hang in doubt before you. You will be in dread day 
and night and will have no assurance of your life. 
67 (Dt 28:34; Job 7:3-4) In the morning you will say, 
"Would to God it were evening!" And at evening you will say, 
"Would to God it were morning!" because of the fear of your heart 
and because of the sights your eyes will see. 
68 (Dt 17:16; Jer 43:7) The Lord will bring you into Egypt again with ships, 
by the way by which I spoke to you, "You will not see it ever again." 
And there you will be sold to your enemies as male and female slaves,
but no one will buy you.

[15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee,
and overtake thee:
[16] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the
field.
[17] Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
[18] Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the
increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
[19] Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when
thou goest out.
[20] The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all
that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and
until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby
thou hast forsaken me.
[21] The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have
consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
[22] The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and
with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and
with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou
perish.
[23] And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that
is under thee shall be iron.
[24] The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven
shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
[25] The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou
shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and
shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
[26] And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the
beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
[27] The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods,
and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
[28] The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment
of heart:
[29] And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and
thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and
spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
[30] Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou
shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a
vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
[31] Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat
thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and
shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies,
and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
[32] Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and
thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and
there shall be no might in thine hand.
[33] The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou
knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
[34] So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt
see.
[35] The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore
botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy
head.
[36] The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee,
unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt
thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
[37] And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among
all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
[38] Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but
little in; for the locust shall consume it.
[39] Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of
the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
[40] Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt
not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
[41] Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for
they shall go into captivity.
[42] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
[43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and
thou shalt come down very low.
[44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail.
[45] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee,
and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes
which he commanded thee:
[46] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy
seed for ever.
[47] Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
[48] Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send
against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all
things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have
destroyed thee.
[49] The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of
the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt
not understand;
[50] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of
the old, nor shew favour to the young:
[51] And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land,
until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine,
or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have
destroyed thee.
[52] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced
walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he
shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD
thy God hath given thee.
[53] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons
and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege,
and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
[54] So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye
shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and
toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
[55] So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children
whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the
straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
[56] The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to
set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son,
and toward her daughter,
[57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of
all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall
distress thee in thy gates.
[58] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are
written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name,
THE LORD THY GOD;
[59] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy
seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and
of long continuance.
[60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou
wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
[61] Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book
of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
[62] And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of
heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD
thy God.
[63] And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you
good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you,
and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
[64] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of
the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
[65] And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole
of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart,
and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
[66] And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day
and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
[67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou
shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith
thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
[68] And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way
whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye
shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall
buy you. 

DEUTERONOMY 29

Renewal of the Covenant

1 (Dt 5:2-3) These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded
Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, 
besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

[1] These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses 
to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside 
the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
 
2 (Ex 19:4) Moses proclaimed to all Israel, and said to them:
You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, 
to Pharaoh and all his servants and to all his land-
3 the great temptations which your eyes have seen, 
those signs and great wonders. 
4 (Ac 28:26-27; Isa 6:9-10) Yet to this day the Lord has not given you 
a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear. 
5 (Dt 8:4; 1:3) I have led you forty years in the wilderness. 
Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal 
has not worn out on your foot. 
6 (Dt 8:3; Eph 5:18) You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine
or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
7 When you came to this place, Sihon, the king of Heshbon, 
and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, 
and we defeated them. 
8 (Nu 32:33; Dt 3:12-13) We took their land and gave it as an inheritance 
to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7) Therefore, keep the words of this covenant and do them, 
so that you may prosper in all you do. 
10 Today all of you stand before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, 
your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 
11 (Ex 12:38) your little ones, your wives, and your foreigners who are 
in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws 
your water-
12 (2Ch 15:12-15) so that you should enter into a covenant with the Lord 
your God, and into His oath, which the Lord your God is making with you today.
13 (Ge 17:7; Ex 6:7) Today He will establish that you are His people
and that He is your God, just as He has said to you and He has sworn 
to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 
14 It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and this oath, 
15 (Ac 2:39) but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord 
our God, and with him who is not here with us today 
16 (for you know that we lived in the land of Egypt and how we came 
through the nations which you passed by, 
17 and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood 
and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them); 
18 (Heb 12:15) lest there be among you a man or woman 
or family or tribe whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God 
to go and serve the gods of these nations, and lest there be among you 
a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit; 
19 (Nu 15:30) and it happens that, when he hears the words of this covenant, 
he blesses himself in his heart, saying,
"I shall have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,- 
thus destroying the watered ground with the dry. 
20 (Ps 74:1; Dt 9:14; Ps 79:5) The Lord will not spare him; 
rather the anger of the Lord and His jealousy will smolder 
against that man. All the curses that are written in this book 
will rest on him, and the Lord will blot out his name from under heaven. 
21 The Lord will single him out for disaster out of all the tribes of Israel, 
according to all the curses of the covenant that are written 
in this Book of the Law.
22 The generation to come, your children who will rise up after you 
and the foreigner who will come from a far land, when they see
the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses 
which the Lord has laid on it, will say, 
23 (Jer 17:6; Zep 2:9) "The whole land is brimstone and salt, 
a burning waste, unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows there, 
like the overthrow of Sod­om and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, 
which the Lord overthrew in His anger and wrath."
24 (Jer 22:8-9; 1Ki 9:8-9) All nations will say, 
"Why has the Lord done such to this land? 
What does the heatedness of this great anger mean?"
25 Then men will say, "Because they have forsaken the covenant 
of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when
He brought them out of the land of Egypt. 
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them,
gods which they did not know and which He had not given to them. 
27 (Dt 28:15-68; Da 9:11-14) The anger of the Lord burned against this land, 
bringing on it all the curses that are written in this book. 
28 (2Ch 7:20; 1Ki 14:15) The Lord rooted them out of their land in anger 
and in wrath and in great indignation, and threw them into another land, 
as it is today."
29 (Ac 1:7; 2Ti 3:16) The secret things belong to the Lord our God, 
but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children 
forever, so that we may keep all the words of this law.

[2] And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen 
all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, 
and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
[3] The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, 
and those great miracles:
[4] Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, 
and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
[5] And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not
waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
[6] Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink:
that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
[7] And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og 
the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
[8] And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the
Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
[9] Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may
prosper in all that ye do.
[10] Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains 
of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
[11] Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp,
from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
[12] That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into
his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
[13] That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that
he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
[14] Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
[15] But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our
God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
[16] (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came
through the nations which ye passed by;
[17] And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone,
silver and gold, which were among them:)
[18] Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe,
whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the
gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth
gall and wormwood;
[19] And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he
bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the
imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
[20] The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his
jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written
in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from
under heaven.
[21] And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of
Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this
book of the law:
[22] So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up
after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when
they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath
laid upon it;
[23] And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning,
that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the
overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD
overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
[24] Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this
land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
[25] Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD
God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out
of the land of Egypt:
[26] For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom
they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
[27] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon
it all the curses that are written in this book:
[28] And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and
in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
[29] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which
are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all
the words of this law.

Dressed by the Holy Spirit </a>

Isaiah 61:1-3,10-11

Isaiah 61
The Lord's Favour

1 (Ps 45:7; Isa 42:7) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me
because the Lord has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor;
He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 (Isa 34:8; 57:18) to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn,
3 (Ps 45:7; 23:5) to preserve those who mourn in Zion,
to give to them beauty
for ashes,
the oil of joy
for mourning,
the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness,
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord,
that He might be glorified.
10 (Rev 21:2; Isa 49:18; 52:1) I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 (Ps 85:11; Isa 60:18) For as the earth brings forth her buds,
and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 61
[1] The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
[2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of
our God; to comfort all that mourn;
[3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of
heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of
the LORD, that he might be glorified.
[10] I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me
with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
[11] For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the
things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause
righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Two eight-year-old boys in Maine - a rural American state - made their 
mark by wearing business suits to school on Wednesdays. Soon "Dapper 
Wednesdays" became a favourite day, as other classmates and school 
staff dressed up too. James, who launched the idea, loved hearing compliments.
"It just made my heart feel really good." Their Wednesday attire set the kids 
apart as proud students of their school.

Our spiritual clothing, which sets us apart as God's own, gladdens our hearts 
too. "My soul rejoices in my God," said Isaiah, "for he has clothed me with 
garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, 
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself 
with her jewels" (Isaiah 61:10).

As the Israelites went into exile, their clothing - spiritual and material - 
was threadbare and worn. Isaiah offered them a hopeful promise: God's Spirit 
would "bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy 
instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" 
(v. 3).

The same promise rests on God's people today. Jesus said that by His Spirit 
we would be "clothed with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Christ provides 
us with a wardrobe of "compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness 
and patience" (Colossians 3:12). Clothed by Him, 
we reflect His love to the world.

Reflect & Pray

How does God's Spirit help you "dress" in compassion, kindness, 
and patience? How are others affected by your Spirit-led behavior?

When I wear worldly values, dear God, 
please change my spiritual clothing.
 


3) Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 4 - Giving and Receiving

Luke 6:38

38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you."

38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured
to you again.

"Just give the Lord", the voice on the radio declared. "Give, and he will
give back to you, a hundredfold." The preacher went on to explain how
an old woman on social security had sent her last $10 to support his
ministry, and the next day she got an anonymous money order for
a $1000 . "The Lord will be faithful to his Word," the preacher
concluded. "You give, and you'll receive."
The Lord is, of course, faithful to his Word. But many well-meaning Christians
have interpreted Luke 6:38 as a "payment in kind" bargain with God:
if I give God my dollar, he's obliged to return it to me with interest.
This "seed-sowing" fallacy, where $20 supposedly becomes $2000 by
an act of divine, multiplication, has caused much
disappointment and frustration.
The "giving and receiving" principle is a valid one; the Lord does, indeed say
"Give, and it will be given to you," but he does not specify what the "return"
will be. The verse appears in the context of forgiveness, of not judging; the
principle is not investment, in any material sense, but generosity.
As we give, as few are compassionate with others, we take on the
character of the Lord himself. He is generous and giving, and he gives
to us as we give ourselves in love to others.

Application

a) Have I ever "given" to God to others as a bribe, to get something
in return?

b) What is God's concept of giving, as demonstrated
in the gift of Jesus Christ?

c) How can this verse help me to give more selflessly? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Mark 4:20-25

20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4-5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:
thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."

A Light Under a Basket

Lk 8:16-18

21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put
under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;
neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.
23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.
The measure you give will be measured for you,
and to you who hear will more be given.
25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.
And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;
such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,
some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put
under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:
and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Help in Times of Temptation

Hebrews 4:14-16

Jesus the Great High Priest

14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest
Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,
but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence
to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,
that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13 

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

Saskatchewan

Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan 2015 population  1125400

est Muslim Population       17279

CNMM Networks: Saskatoon

Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have 
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a 
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded. 
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.

Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the 
  spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
  converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation. 
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
  to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon 
  to spread and grow to other cities.

Adding further

<a href="https://www.pray30days.org/2025/
pray-for-the-minangkabau-of-indonesia">
Pray for the Minangkabau of Indonesia</a>

There is a famous Minang poem that concludes with the line: 
alam takambang jadikan guru (nature becomes the teacher). 
Zul, who grew up and still lives in the rural heartland 
of the Minangkabau people, would have heard this poem. 
The 'nature' he was taught to conform to is a complex interplay of the 
natural world, social expectations and traditional and religious obligations.

Although religious tradition is strong, education is also highly prized, 
particularly by Zul's father who taught Zul to search for knowledge wherever 
he found it. Zul has, therefore, been bold enough to look beyond the expected
norms and reach out for a copy of the Bible. He has read it, from cover to 
cover, and warmly received believers who visited him and answered 
his questions. Now he is sharing this treasure with others.

Sadly, this sort of receptiveness is not very common. Minangkabau are one of 
the most strongly Muslim people groups in Indonesia and opportunities for 
them to hear or read the Word of God have been limited. Furthermore, 
most are afraid of the Bible, having been taught that it is dangerous.

How to Pray

Pray that the Spirit of God will give Zul, and others like him, 
understanding of what they read and the words to share this with others.

Pray for those who are too afraid to read the Bible. Ask the Father 
to release them from the fear and lead them to ways that they can 
hear the good news found in God's Word.

Pray for those who spread fear and oppose the truth. Ask that they 
be released from bondage and called to follow Jesus.


My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
