“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;”
Deuteronomy 30:14-15 KJV
Moses preparing to depart, tells the children of Israel that the word is right here and now—as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest. Just do it! Look at what I’ve done for you today: I’ve placed in front of you Life and Good Death and Evil. God never interferes with the free-will He has given us. The choice is ours alone. Paul too as he shared the Gospel told the people what Moses had said here that the one who obeys the Word of God must live by the Word. In Christ we have the blessed righteousness that comes to us through grace by faith as we make our choice to live by the Word which is full of God’s Life and goodness, keeping us from death and evil. Jesus our Lord, put it clearly, “But if you live in life-union with Me and if My words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.” What a promise! Let’s think the Word, speak the Word and live the Word. Amen!
