I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live:
Scripture: Deuteronomy
30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose
life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
He
is talking to us, the decendants of the ancient tribes of Israel who have
been driven among the nations and lost our identity, even not knowing we
are Israelites.
Complete text: Deuteronomy 30:1 ¶And
it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing
and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to
mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
2 And
shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul;
We
shall become Christians
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy
captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather
thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the
outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee,
and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee
into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and
he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise
thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these
curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted
thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the
voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this
day.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous
in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit
of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will
again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice
of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are
written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 ¶For this commandment which I command
thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest
say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may
hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us,
that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee,
in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 ¶See,
I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love
the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and
his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and
the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess
it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that
thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and
serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye
shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before
you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both
thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him:
for
he is thy life, and the length of thy
days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
