God's Word For Today

The Art of Knowing

Read Deuteronomy 29:1 through 31:30

John was in a hurry as he drove down Main Street. As he approached an intersection he immediately detected trouble. The traffic light was not glowing—the electricity had gone out.

Drivers in the busy intersection quickly became nervous and unsure. No one seemed to remember how to respond in a busy four-way intersection without the help of the light. Even John, a seasoned driver, had trouble remembering the driving rules he had learned as a teenager.

No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction (Deuteronomy 30:14–15).

God’s Word serves as a light to those who choose to follow it. However, when we neglect reading and absorbing God’s Word, we can find ourselves lost and helpless in times of trouble. The purpose of studying Scripture is to take God’s Word to heart—to digest it. Truly knowing God’s Word will serve us well in any situation.

Thought for Today: How often do you read and study God’s Word? How easily can you recall Scripture?

Something I ask for in meditation daily, the inner knowing I need just for today.

Just like now, my computer is acting up and my punctuation keys are not working. I know what is wrong, but I do not know how to fix it without rebooting my Notebook.
