Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy means 'second law'. It is largely Moses repeating the law found earlier in the Pentateuch, just before the Israelites will enter the Promised Land.
It's through repetition through life that teachings, habits, prayer and faith become second-nature to us. And when they do, they become part of who we are, because we truly inhabit them.
That message from Deuteronomy reminds me of this verse:
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
(1 John 4.16b)
God is in all things, but through abiding in God we will see God's glory - around us, and within us.
For reflection and prayer today:
Since there will never cease to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, ‘Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbour in your land.’
Deuteronomy 15.11
