Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, YHWH your God disciplines you.
Deuteronomy 8:5
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Philippians 2:12
Total obedience is the goal of "working out your salvation". It's a long and difficult journey. Don't be afraid of it, though. God will be there to strengthen, discipline, and encourage you along the way. It won't always be pleasant, and you will never achieve perfection in this life, but God is gracious and forgiving, and he promises that the rewards will be worth the effort. God wants total surrender even if we don't understand and aren't fully capable. He wants a willing heart, not a perfect one.
The intent of a man’s heart is deep water, but a man of insight draws it out.
Proverbs 20:5 TLV
Deep waters are a metaphor of something hidden, mysterious, and dangerous. Sometimes a man doesn't even know himself, but another person with good understanding of both the man and human nature might. At other times a man might hide his true intentions, but a person with great discernment will see right through him.
The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that YHWH swore to give to your fathers.
Deuteronomy 8:1
This verse illustrates four great benefits of keeping #torah: Life, Fertility, Profit, and Security.
#ekev
The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to YHWH your God. And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.
#deuteronomy 7:25-26
The total destruction of idols is counted among the blessings of obedience to God's Law. Idols are not to be kept for their historical value or any other reason. Burn them, grind them to dust, and scatter the remains or God may do so to you instead. Verse 26 presages the fate of Achan after Jericho. Idolatry among the righteous is a magnet for trouble. It isn't a victimless crime. #ekev
