You CAN do it!

Deuteronomy 30:11-14 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 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?’ 13 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?’ 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.”

What is “this command”? If we go back to verse 10, we see the following – obey the voice of the Lord your God, keep His commandments and His statutes that are written in the Book of the law
AND turn to the Lord your God with all you heart and with all your soul.

God said it’s not too hard for us. It is not impossible. It is not unattainable.
That means, in responding to God appropriately, we can no longer make excuses.  So, it does not matter how you have been brought up, what you have gone through, how long you have been this way, what you have done in the past or what you think or feel.

Right now, God says to obey Him and turn to Him completely!

God said "it isn’t far off". We cannot claim that it is too far away, nor can we blame someone else for not telling us what to do.  God said His word is in your mouth and in your heart.  Why? So you CAN do it! Does that mean possession of God’s Word equips you to do God’s Word?
Yes, if you allow His word to affect your heart.
The power of God’s Word does not come from education or eloquence – the power of God’s Word is in the Word itself!  It is His Word that saves, transforms, teaches, rebukes, corrects and trains.

Understanding that truth alone should motivate us to consume God’s Word to such a degree, that it is not only our daily sustenance, but is also our way of life.

What does God's Word mean to you?

If living out God's word is not your way of life, you are not living in the power God has made available for you to live in this life.  Frankly speaking, until it becomes your way of life, you will not experience renewal.

What is it you desire most?

Do you desire life and good? Live life God’s way, experience renewal and move closer to God.

Do you desire death and evil? Live life your way, stay the same and move further away from God.
