DEUTERONOMY 25-26:
Yesterday in Deuteronomy, we read some laws for what kind of people could not enter into the congregation of Israel, and how long before their descendants could enter into the congregation of Israel. And we heard laws about cleanliness based on the fact that God was living with the Israelites. Plus we also see that God wanted his people to be kind, fair, and thoughtful of the needs of the poor.

PSALM 62:
Today, in Psalm 62, we have a poem to pray and an example to follow when you feel the world is against you.

ACTS 15b:
Yesterday in the first half of Acts 15, we heard how the controversy over circumcision started and we heard the speeches of Peter and James.

Let's pray together.
Oh Lord our God and our heavenly Father, Thank You for the way You led the early believers. Thank You that You revealed your will to them. Lord, we thank You that we Gentiles were not given the burden of bearing the whole Law. As Peter said, this was a burden that their ancestors and they themselves had never been able to carry. You have provided a new and living way through Christ Jesus for us to come before You, to be accepted. We thank You that Jesus fulfilled the Law for us. And Lord, we see here also your sovereignty. In the verse that James quoted, You said, “so all the rest of the human race will come to me— all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own.” Lord, we thank You for your sovereign calling people to come to You from every language in tribe and people in the nation. We pray that You would help us each one to obey the four important principles that James gave. Especially help us with this one: That we keep ourselves from sexual immorality. Lord, cleanse us, and help us to be obedient to You. Please forgive the sins of our past, and keep us on the straight path of avoiding sexual immorality in our lives. And we thank You Lord that we can pray like David, “Hear my cry, O God! Listen to my prayer. Take me to a safe refuge, for you are my protector my strong defense against my enemies. Let me live in your sanctuary all my life. Let me find the safety under your wings. You have heard my promises, oh God, and You have given me what belongs to those who honor you.” We thank You that You are our safe refuge today.
