Episode 352: Deuteronomy 4

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Deuteronomy 4

Father, I listen carefully to your Word. I know that your Word is life. It allows me to live in the promises you have made. I cannot add to or subtract from your Word; it is perfect. It is the instruction manual for my life. I will obey and follow the instructions you have given me. I am faithful to you, Father. 

I follow your Word, and you give me wisdom and understanding. You are near to me when I call. As near as my own breath.

I watch what I do and I am careful with my very life. I will never forget everything that you have done for me. The memories will not escape from my mind as long as I live. I will pass them on to my children and grandchildren. I will teach them to live in awe and reverence of you, Father. 

I will not idolize anything or anyone but you, Father. Not man, woman, an animal on the ground, a bird in the sky, or a fish in the deepest sea. 

When I look up into the sky, I am not seduced by the sun, moon and stars -- all the forces of heaven. They are not to be worshipped or followed. They have no hidden wisdom for my life. You created them all for me. You alone are worthy of my praise. You rescued me from the enemy. You purified me and made me your very own, your special possession. I will not forget the covenant you made with me. You are a jealous God, a devouring, holy fire.

I search for an ever closer relationship with you, Father, with all my heart and soul. You are a compassionate, merciful God. You won't abandon me or forget the solemn covenant you have made. You will keep it. 

I could search all of history, from the time you created people on the earth until now; I could search from one end of the heavens to the other, and find no other god who even comes close to you. You spoke to Israel out of the fire, and now you speak to me from your Holy Spirit living within me. No other god, no other religion can boast such a thing. 

You are God, and there is no other. You gave me your written Word, so you could instruct me. And you have given me Holy Spirit to teach me all things. You chose to bless me.

I will keep this firmly in my mind: I know with every fiber of my being, that you and no one else are God both in heaven and on earth. You have promised that if I obey you and follow your Word, all will be well with me and my descendants. I will enjoy a long life living in a state of your favor. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
