THANKSGIVING DAYYear A, Revised Common LectionaryDeuteronomy 8:7-18For the LORD your God is bringing youinto a good land, a land with flowingstreams, with springs and undergroundwaters welling up in valleys and hills, aland of wheat and barley, of vines andfig trees and pomegranates, a land ofolive trees and honey, a land whereyou may eat bread without scarcity,where you will lack nothing, a landwhose stones are iron and from whosehills you may mine copper. You shalleat your fill and bless the LORD yourGod for the good land that he hasgiven you. Take care that you do notforget the LORD your God, by failing tokeephiscommandments,hisordinances, and his statutes, which Iam commanding you today. When youhave eaten your fill and have built finehouses and live in them, and whenyour herds and flocks have multiplied,and your silver and gold is multiplied,and all that you have is multiplied,then do not exalt yourself, forgettingthe LORD your God, who brought youout of the land of Egypt, out of thehouse of slavery, who led you throughthe great and terrible wilderness, anarid wasteland with poisonous snakesand scorpions. He made water flow foryou from flint rock, and fed you in thewilderness with manna that yourancestors did not know, to humble youand to test you, and in the end to doyou good. Do not say to yourself, "Mypower and the might of my own handhave gotten me this wealth." Butremember the LORD your God, for it ishe who gives you power to get wealth,so that he may confirm his covenantthat he swore to your ancestors, as heis doing today.Psalm 65Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion;and to you shall vows be performed, Oyou who answer prayer! To you all fleshshall come. When deeds of iniquityoverwhelm us, you forgive ourtransgressions. Happy are those whomyou choose and bring near to live inyour courts. We shall be satisfied withthe goodness of your house, your holytemple. By awesome deeds youanswer us with deliverance, O God ofour salvation; you are the hope of allthe ends of the earth and of thefarthest seas. By your strength youestablished the mountains; you aregirded with might. You silence theroaring of the seas, the roaring of theirwaves, the tumult of the peoples.Those who live at earth's farthestbounds are awed by your signs; youmake the gateways of the morning andthe evening shout for joy. You visit theearth and water it, you greatly enrich it;the river of God is full of water; youprovide the people with grain, for soyou have prepared it. You water itsfurrows abundantly, settling its ridges,softening it with showers, and blessingits growth. You crown the year withyour bounty; your wagon tracksoverflow with richness. The pastures ofthe wilderness overflow, the hills girdthemselves with joy, the meadowsclothe themselves with flocks, thevalleys deck themselves with grain,they shout and sing together for joy.2 Corinthians 9:6-15The point is this: the one who sowssparingly will also reap sparingly, andthe one who sows bountifully will alsoreap bountifully.
