¹¹ Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. ¹² It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹⁴ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

These are very reassuring words, and they take on new meaning to those of us who claim Christ as our Savior.  He is the Word who is near me; he gives me words in my mouth, songs in my heart, and lift to my soul.

Amen!
