Not just idle words


Deuteronomy 32:45-47

When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you – they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Even “the land” is not just idle words since it represents your psychic, your soul, and “this law” represents the words, the direction, and the guidance, of Gods indwelling Spirit guiding us to possess the land. If we take to heart all the words that that Spirit tells us all the time, we would say “no” to temptations and we would live long in "the land" you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
