It is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life.
This verse follows teaching that Moses gave to Israel in song. He tells the people of Israel to command their sons to observe and obey all the words of God's law, because it is "not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life."
Thoughts for the day...
To me, this verse means exactly what it says. God's word is life. They aren't simply words on a page; they are the words spoken to us by God, words by which we should live our lives. We must follow His laws, and we must do all that He commands of us. I think by doing what I'm doing through this blog, studying God's word, I'm doing what He wants me to do, which is making His commands a vital part of the life I'm living. We should always want to do God's will, because His will is what is always best for us.
My Prayer
Father, thank you for Your word. I pray that I will never look upon Your words as just idle words--words that have no meaning. I pray that I will apply Your words to my life and I pass Your words on to others.
