Deuteronomy 30:10-14 (The Message)10 But only if you listen obediently to God, your God, and keep the commandments and regulations written in this Book of Revelation. Nothing halfhearted here; you must return to God, your God, totally, heart and soul, holding nothing back.
11-14 This commandment that I'm commanding you today isn't too much for you, it's not out of your reach. It's not on a high mountain—you don't have to get mountaineers to climb the peak and bring it down to your level and explain it before you can live it. And it's not across the ocean—you don't have to send sailors out to get it, bring it back, and then explain it before you can live it. No. The word is right here and now—as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest. Just do it!
How high will we climb?
How far will we stretch ourselves?
How high will we reach to feast on God's Word and obey His ways which are all for our good and our benefit for life?
It's time....... let's "just do it!"

Reaching Higher in Jesus Name!
Thanks for always sharing a word of strong encouragement that draws people closer to the LORD.
Hugs!
Yes, holding NOTHNG back! God has been revealing to me in my EG study homework this week that I need to BELIEVE Him. Always. The world really does fight for our love. And, there are those moments of unbelief, despite ALL that the LORD has done. So, I am praying through that & thankful that He is having me take a real look at believing {and trusting} Him this week!

Stephanie, I love your pictures and how you relate them to Scripture. So beautiful.
Hi Stephanie, wonderful photos that really make me think about reaching higher for what God has for me.

I have the NIV version of this verse written down in my spiral notecards. So glad for God's Word that descends and for my strengthened reach that extends upward to receive them.
Have a great week.

This lets us all believe we can achieve, beautiful :)
Great job of using God's creation to illustrate His word. Indeed, how high will we reach, before we realize that it is His desire to give those who love HIm - all good things - if we LISTEN and OBEY His Word.
Great post,Stephanie
