"And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he many learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes..." (Deuteronomy 17:19)
Our text is, "The Word of God," Jesus Christ, admonishing any king who would arise in Israel, concerning, "The Words of God." It is also a life-saving/preserving Word to you and me. As the Bible declares of Jesus' Words in an earlier passage, "They are your life."
Father, in Jesus' Name, it took me too long to have this written in my heart and mind, but thank You that You did. Amen.
Hebrews 12:2
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
