Readers’ Theatre
(Deuteronomy 30:
15-20)
Now
listen!
Today
I am giving you a choice between life
and death,
between
prosperity
and disaster.
For
I command you this day to love the Lord your God
and
to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations
by
walking in his ways.
If you do this, you
will live and multiply,
and
the Lord your God will bless you
and the land you are
about to enter and occupy.
But
if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen,
and if you are drawn
away to serve and worship other gods,
then
I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed.
You will not live a
long, good life
in the land you are
crossing the Jordan to occupy.
Today
I have given you the choice between life
and death,
between
blessings
and curses.
Now
I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make.
Oh, that you would
choose life,
so that you and your
descendants might live!
You
can make this choice by loving the Lord your God,
obeying
him, and committing yourself firmly to him.
This is
the key to your life.
And if you love and
obey the Lord,
you will live long in
the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors
Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.
