Passage: Deuteronomy 4:7*
What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
Questions
1. How close does God get to his people?
2. Is that proximity good or bad?
Practical help
Fire-and-brimstone types should take note of the tone of this verse. The words themselves could strike fear into believers who view Web porn: God is watching over your shoulder — and will likely deliver a just penalty.
Fortunately, the tone of Deuteronomy is consolatory: God stays close to love and protect Christians. Remember that the next time you're tempted to check out Web porn. Avoid it not out of fear but out of thankfulness for God's grace.
