- For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. Deuteronomy 30:11-14 – If God’s command was too far to reach, too hard for us to follow, and too complicated for us to understand, it would be cruel of God to have life and death on the line with us following it or not. What we learn though is that His Word isn’t far, isn’t hard, isn’t complicated. Through Jesus He has brought His Word so close to us and gave us the understanding of it. He literally brought His Word to us. Today, we are called to follow the life and words of Jesus. Yes, life and death are on the line here, but what we see is His yoke is light. He’s called us to love those around us and to love God with all our heart. As we see spoken in verse 19, therefore choose life. Choose to follow the living Word of God in all you do and find the blessed life we see God promising you. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1325
- Deuteronomy 30 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. Deuteronomy 30:4 – Life or death. Blessing or curse. Together or separated. These choices were being laid out in front of God’s people before they took their initial steps into the promise land. If they would obey God’s word, life, blessing, and togetherness would be found. Such as the promise here in our verse, no matter where their sin would have cast them out to, there God would see them and bring them back home. He would set free, heal, and bring back together His people just like He had done before. My heart today goes out to those who feel like they have sinned so deeply that they are out of God’s reach of rescue. If that’s your story today, see how far God’s reach can go. It doesn’t matter how far you gotten or how deep the hole is you have dug for yourself, if there is a turning of your heart to Jesus then He can save you there. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2455
