Deuteronomy 30:9-16 is as clear a blueprint for success as any that has ever been devised by a life coach or a career counselor. In a nutshell, it tells believers that if we will love our Father God and obey Him, if we will enter into the contractual agreement that He sets before us, we will be blessed.
In Deuteronomy 30:14, He assures that this is not some far-off, pie-in-the-sky deal that’s too good to be true. It’s not something we must endeavor to apprehend through our much study and in depth contemplation. No. This is a matter that we may resolve by simply stating our desire to do so.
The verse says, “The word is very near you; it is in your mouth, it is in your heart…” When you have accepted the plan of salvation which the Triune God formulated before the foundation of the earth, that the Lamb of God (Jesus) died for your sins (Revelation 13:8), you are on the course to success!
And that success transcends mere earthly achievements and temporal acquisitions. When you receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord, when you say as did Thomas, “My Lord and my God,” (John 20:28), you have allowed Him to make you an heir of eternal life, one who will reign with Jesus in heaven
