Word-Filled Wednesday: Near

Welcome to my contribution to Word-Filled Wednesday, hosted this week by Lori at All You Have To Give. Be sure to check out her blog, and the links below it, for more visual inspiration from Scripture.

I love the book of Deuteronomy. There is so much to ponder in this amazing Old Testament gem. This verse - and the ones just preceding it - captured me this morning as I was doing my "Bible In A Year" reading. We have the Word right with us - yet the amazing thing to me is that this was written NOT about the Word Who became flesh, but about God's Word, the Bible (and just the Pentateuch at that!). His promises are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. Deuteronomy 30:14
