Not beyond our reach

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." - Deuteronomy 30:11-14

Often we assume that the things of God are way beyond the reach of us mere mortals, but according to the words of Deuteronomy they are not! In fact, it seems that what God requires of us has been made all the easier through the work of the Holy Spirit. As I read through these words again, I am reminded not to make my faith so complicated. It can be as simple as it is profound.

Friends, let us not believe that God has hidden his treasures so far from us - they are nearer to us than we think.
