Tuesday in Easter

1Verse 1. You shall therefore love the LORD your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments. 2Verse 2. Know this day that it is not your children who have known and seen the discipline of the LORD your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm; 3Verse 3. the signs and works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land; 4Verse 4. what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf them as they pursued you, and how He destroyed them completely, even to this day; 5Verse 5. what He did for you in the wilderness until you reached this place; 6Verse 6. and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that belonged to them. 7Verse 7. For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done. 8Verse 8. You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 9Verse 9. and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10Verse 10. For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden. 11Verse 11. But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven. 12Verse 12. It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year. 13Verse 13. So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14Verse 14. then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil. 15Verse 15. And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied. 16Verse 16. But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods, 17Verse 17. or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.

13Verse 13. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate: 14Verse 14. Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15Verse 15. which the blessed and only Sovereign One— the King of kings and Lord of lords— will bring about in His own time. 16Verse 16. He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
