Deuteronomy 32:44-47

[Moses] said to them, "Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live...

How is it that sometimes I'll read the Word and not think there is much in it for me? Seriously, I have to admit that I'll read certain things and ask, "Does this relate to me?", "Do I really want to live this out?", "Why should I even care?". But the truth is that when I do live out the Word even when there isn't much expectation, God reveals to me that there is nothing more satisfying... that it was not an empty word for me... that it is my very life... and that it is the life I am to live...

I catch myself thinking and asking me those same questions similarly sometimes. So true what happens next.
