“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.” - Deuteronomy 30v14
When the Lord give us teachings in His word, He knocks down any excuses to not doing it. God says, “My word is not far away, it is very near, it is in your mouth and in your heart.”
Then God gives instruction on what to do about this word that is so near. What did God say to the people of Israel that they should do with word? The same thing He tells us in the book of James; “Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only.
We too often take for granted the wonderful gift of God’s word to us. It is there, we have it close to hand, and yet how seldom we heed it and how even more seldom we do it.
God’s word is indeed very near to us. Most of us read, and are taught it. Let is not only be very near to us, but let us do it!
