Praying Deuteronomy 7:7-9 (New International Version)
The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. *
But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Response to the Scripture

Ending Prayer
Oh, to see the sight, next to Christ’s coming in the clouds, the most joyful! Our elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon one another’s neck and kiss each other!
They have been long asunder; they will be kind to one another when they meet. *
O Day! O longed for and lovely dawn!
O sweet Jesus, let me see that sight which will be as life from the dead, Thee and Thy ancient people in mutual embraces.
- Samuel Ratherford
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
