—Deuteronomy 31:9-13
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Today’s passage shows the importance of sharing God’s Word so that people “may hear and learn and fear the Lord your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law” (v.12). We cannot effectively witness to others unless we share with them the Word of God, which “is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12), and “is perfect, restoring the soul…[and] making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7). Attempting to share the hope and love of God without His Word is like trying to construct a house without building materials—it simply cannot be done.
