Take to heart all the words

by which I am

         warning you today,

that you may command them

             to your children,

that they may be careful

to do all the words of this law.

For it is no empty word for you,

          but your very life...

           Deuteronomy 32. 46-47

(May we embrace God's Word

          as our lifeline,

take it to heart,

         and live out His truth

                        and grace.

Scripture is not just words on a page,

     but the very Word of God

  that cannot help but change

    the trajectory of our lives

and those for generations

                     to come.)

O LORD,

May we not just revere Your Word

       but worship You

       by keeping it,

by intentionally proclaiming it

             in word and deed.

Show us this day

    what we can do

to live out Your Word,

to implant it,

        and to nurture it.

Align our hearts with Yours.

Guide our steps.

Confirm Your Word in us.
