Deuteronomy
8:1-11, 17-20
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye
observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and
possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God
led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee,
and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And
he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with
manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread
only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the
LORD doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell,
these forty years.
5 Thou
shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth
his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For
the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks
of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys
and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and
pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou
shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron,
and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 When
thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD
thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping
his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which
I command thee this day:
17 And
thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand
hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God,
and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them,
I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face,
so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the
voice of the LORD your God.

Second Lesson
Matthew 6:5-15
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in
the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily
I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen
do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After
this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.
2nd Lesson Questions -
