"Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you." Deuteronomy 4:2 (NLT)

Moses urges the Children of Israel to follow the Word of God at all times. Moses knew, that after he was gone there would be times, as there already had been, when they questioned God's Word and wondered at the rationality behind it. But, God had the best interest of Israel at heart, and understood things in a way they could never hope to. This brought them to a place where they would have to trust God's Word and obey it, without adding to it or taking away from it, even if they didn't understand it.

Augustine wrote, "If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself." There are always going to be things in the Word of God that we don't fully understand, or even agree with. But, never the less, we must trust God's Word and follow it wholeheartedly! We must trust in the fact that God sees things in a way that we're not able to, and that He is LOVING and MERCIFUL; wanting the best for His children! God's word will lead us into His BLESSINGS, which He desperately desires to give to ALL His children through Jesus Christ! Keep God's Word as it is! Trust that He loves you, and has your best interest at heart! And know that as you follow God's unabridged Word wholeheartedly, it will lead you into the fullness of His BLESSINGS!!

"Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy." Deuteronomy 5:33 (NLT)
