The scriptures read are Deuteronomy 31-33, Psalm 63, and Luke 21.
Deuteronomy 31. God is commissioning Joshua. He isn't too optimistic on the future faithfulness of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32. A poem to teach the Israelites. It's not optimistic either. (Jeshurun is a poetic name for Israel meaning "upright.")
Deuteronomy 33. Moses' blessing on the tribes. Pretty optimistic.
Psalm 63. Song of one in love with God.
Luke 21. Jesus commends a poor but generous widow.
Things will get worse. The end will come. Don't be deceived by fake messiahs, Don't be too quick to accept doomsday predictions, but keep alert, just the same. Don't goof off; don't get lazy and sinful. Do pray for the strength and wisdom to survive.
