Torah: Nitzavim-Vayelech, 6th Portion Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:14-19
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, the days approach when you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of meeting, that I may [a]inaugurate him.”

Deuteronomy 28:1-48
45 “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you [m]did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46 And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
47 “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
Matthew 15:29-31
29 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, [a]maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the [b]maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
Mark 7:31-37
36 Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
365 Daily Kingdom Living
Flourishing!
Did you know there are seven olive trees more than 2,000 years old still bearing fruit today in the Mediterranean? We, like David, can also stand strong, firm, and fruitful if our trust is in the right place. Trusting money won’t help, trusting our heritage won’t do it, even trusting our church or our leaders is insufficient. We all need to trust in God’s unfailing love!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for planting me in your kingdom. I know I can flourish in your unfailing love. It is so promising and so amazing. Make my life count for you today in such a way that it will still be bearing fruit in 2000 years like those olive trees. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Scripture
Isaiah 1
16 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.Cease to do evil,17 Learn to do good;Seek justice,Rebuke [i]the oppressor;[j]Defend the fatherless,Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”Says the Lord,“Though your sins are like scarlet,They shall be as white as snow;Though they are red like crimson,They shall be as wool.19 If you are willing and obedient,You shall eat the good of the land;20 But if you refuse and rebel,You shall be devoured by the sword”;For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter daysThat the mountain of the Lord’s houseShall be established on the top of the mountains,And shall be exalted above the hills;And all nations shall flow to it.3 Many people shall come and say,“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,To the house of the God of Jacob;He will teach us His ways,And we shall walk in His paths.”For out of Zion shall go forth the law,And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.4 He shall judge between the nations,And rebuke many people;They shall beat their swords into plowshares,And their spears into pruning [r]hooks;Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,Neither shall they learn war anymore.
2 Corinthians 10
16 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.Cease to do evil,17 Learn to do good;Seek justice,Rebuke [i]the oppressor;[j]Defend the fatherless,Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”Says the Lord,“Though your sins are like scarlet,They shall be as white as snow;Though they are red like crimson,They shall be as wool.19 If you are willing and obedient,You shall eat the good of the land;20 But if you refuse and rebel,You shall be devoured by the sword”;For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
17 But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” 18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Psalms 52
8 But Iamlike a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever, Because You have doneit; And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it is good.
Proverbs 22:26-27
26 Do not be one of those who [a]shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is [b]surety for debts;
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?
