Deuteronomy Craziness

The Word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it...
They are not just idle words for you -- they are your life.
Deuteronomy 30:14, 32:47

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8

I'm astounded by God's Word every day. Just think about this: as great things as the Israelites witnessed when God parted the Red Seas, when God rained down manna from heaven, when God appeared in clouds and fire, we see more today. As great things as the Apostles saw when Jesus healed the blind, raised the dead, and walked on water, we see more today. We see more today because we see all that these people saw in God's Word and His revelation to us every day, if only we would meditate on his Word more. Just astounding. What's just as amazing is that He would choose this wretched heart, this blind soul, to seek Him through His Word. Even when I chase Him for the wrong reasons, He still responds with His mercy and grace so that I can know more and more of God's love and how I need Him every day. Wow. Just amazing. God, you're amazing.

I want to know His Word so much more every day. I want to surround myself with it because I am so prone to forget His goodness and His grace.

God, let everything I have be saturated with You, because I am slow at taking You in. Put the Word in my heart, in my mind, in my body, in my prayers, in my words. Be my food, my water, my air, my shelter, my comfort, my rest.

So much goodness, so much grace, such an awesome God He is. I need the cross more and more every day. I need His Word more and more every day.
