So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,his chosen ones with rejoicing.44He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,and they harvested crops that others had planted.45All this happened so they would follow his decreesand obey his instructions.Praise the Lord!

If your descendants obey the terms of my covenantand the laws that I teach them,then your royal linewill continue forever and ever.”

Lord God my Father,

May I enter all the challenges of this day with your Joy in my heart, trusting your path and not struggling to control you or have my way. I only wish to reap your crops this day and plant the seeds you provide for the future.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
