Deuteronomy 4:2. “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”
INSTRUCTIONS. God is not confused about what He wants to do His plans were made before “the beginning.” He has made very clear all we are supposed to know In His Word to give us understanding. It would be the same as rejecting His name If I would ever try to add to His Word,
Or to take some away, or diminish what it says Would be a severe insult unto the Lord.
I am to “keep” His Word and make it known And then to “do” what I have learned. His Word will give wisdom when I use it aright Far be it for me ever to spurn The truths it contains for they are placed there by God. He has every right to expect me to obey When I surrendered to Him – acknowledged Him as Lord I was committed to following “The Way.”
Understanding of events and choices to be made Comes to me when to His Word I give heed. When there are alternatives there, for understanding I plead God is faithful to give light when I read. I must never forget I’m under His command It’s not enough to know – it is wrong for me to forget Because I have heard His voice, sensed His guiding hand And by His truth overcome the sins that beset.
“O God of all wisdom and understanding, I pray today that I will take heed to Thy Word and never forget it. I pray that I will always seek Thee and turn to Thee when decisions are to be made. I want to be obedient to Thy voice and committed to Thee and Thy truth and always seek Thee with all my heart and soul, by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
