Deuteronomy 9

Passage: 3 Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the LORD your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you… 4 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, “It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,” 6 Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people. (Deuteronomy 9:3–4, 6 ESV) Song: All My Boast is in Jesus by Bryan Fowler, Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, and Matt Papa Lyrics: What wonder of wonders what love is this That Christ would die for me His goodness His merit His righteousness This sinner’s only plea O foolish pride be crucified The work is finished All my boast is in Jesus All my hope is His love And I will glory forever In what the cross has done Now fully forgiven my life is filled With graces undeserved For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill Let praises now return Rise up my soul and bless the Lord Who else is worthy O praise the One forever blessed Him alone my heart adores And I will boast in nothing less Than the love of Christ my Lord I boast not in riches in strength or might But in the grace of God I glory in weakness to live is Christ In plenty or in want That I may know that all may see His pow’r within me Now I stand in His freedom Ransomed clean in His sight And I cannot be ashamed for My boast is Jesus Christ My boast is Jesus Christ Forever my boast is Jesus Christ Prayer: Almighty God, eternal Father, we have sat at your feet, learned from your word, and eaten from your table. We give you thanks and praise for accepting us into your family. Send us out with your blessing, to live and to witness for you in the power of your Spirit, through Jesus Christ, the firstborn from the dead. Amen. -From the Eucharistic Rite of the Anglican Church in Kenya
