In Thy Mouth Pt 2

ROMANS 10: 8    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

We can find a parallel set of Scriptures, which can give us a better understanding of what Paul is trying to convey to us, in Deuteronomy 30:11 - 16. Here we find God telling Israel that word is "in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it (amp)." The point that He is conveying to Israel, and that Paul is trying to convey to us, is that God's Word is not some unobtainable mystery only understood by great theologians. Rather God's Word is given to the common man, that we all have free access to His Word. 

Paul also conveys here that God's Word is our life's blood. God's Word isn't something our children should hear once a week on Sunday from the preacher, but rather It should become familiar in our homes. James 4:8 tells us that if we draw nigh to God, that He will draw nigh unto us. 

So let's establish a life goal today, to draw nigh unto God. You may be wondering, how do I do that? It's simple really, just begin to talk about Him. Talk about how He has blessed you. How He has blessed your children? How many times has He healed you? What secrets about His nature has He revealed to you? Has He shown you mercy? Compassion? Kindness? What has He taught you? Where has He brought you from? Tell a friend. Tell a neighbor. Tell your wife and your children. Look in the mirror and tell yourself. Talk to Him while your at it. The more you talk about Him and to Him, the more you'll fall in love with Him.
