Deuteronomy 30:9-14

Common English Bible

⁹ The Lord your God will help you succeed in everything you do—in your own fertility, your livestock’s offspring, and your land’s produce—everything will be great! Because the Lord will once again enjoy doing good things for you just as he enjoyed doing them for your ancestors, ¹⁰ and because you will be obeying the Lord your God’s voice, keeping his commandments and his regulations that are written in this Instruction scroll, and because you will have returned to the Lord your God with all your heart and all your being.

¹¹ This commandment that I’m giving you right now is definitely not too difficult for you. It isn’t unreachable. ¹² It isn’t up in heaven somewhere so that you have to ask, “Who will go up for us to heaven and get it for us that we can hear it and do it?” ¹³ Nor is it across the ocean somewhere so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the ocean for us and get it for us that we can hear it and do it?” ¹⁴ Not at all! The word is very close to you. It’s in your mouth and in your heart, waiting for you to do it.
