I was reading my daily scripture portion from Deuteronomy 30, and verses 11 - 20 hit me bang, real hard. The section heading was " The Choice of Life and Death". In verse 11 God , Elohim, Yaveh is telling Moses, look what I have given to be followed is not hard, nor it is far off, and it is not in heaven or beyond the sea, that you say who will bring it to me? But where is it? Now comes the clincher. V 14 - "But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it".
Honestly in all my life I did not hear this being preached or heard this portion of scripture. God is telling us the word is in my heart and in my mouth, so that I can do it. We tend to love the word, but what do we do with it. God is saying I gave you my word, placed it in your heart and in your mouth, to do what ? to do it. And in the next verses, a clear choice is given, the choice between life and death. Of course if I dont care about life or death , there is no need to do anything, but what if this is true. So the choice is clear and up to you. For those who have made the choice, one thing is clear. God called you to do his work, and He has put His word in your heart. That is all that I and you need.
