Let us reflect on an
Old Testament passage as true today as it was then.
Scripture for
reflection: Deuteronomy 30:15-20
15 See, I have set before you
today life and prosperity, death and adversity.
16 If you obey the commandments
of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments,
decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to
possess.
17 But if your heart turns away and you do not hear,
but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them,
18 I declare to you today that
you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the
Jordan to enter and possess.
19 I call heaven and earth to
witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings
and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,
20 loving the Lord your God,
obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of
days, so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to
give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
