Verse 6Moreover, the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, in order that you may live.
Devotion
The entire book of Deuteronomy is written as a “last speech” of Moses, telling the people, currently in the wilderness, how to live in the land they are about to conquer. It offers them another chance to follow the law, but does so by reminding them that God did not destroy Israel no matter how often they failed. These words are like balm when we begin to weigh our behavior against God’s grace.
Prayer
Never-failing God, we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from your mouth. Tune my ears to your grace that I might hear again and again the news of your forgiveness. Amen.
