Deuteronomy 4:1-10
NEITHER ADD NOR TAKE AWAY ANYTHING
You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it… Deuteronomy 4:2, NRSV
The experiences and situations of life often cause people to either add or take away from God’s Word.
Most times, when they do that, it is to have a basis for their actions or inactions. But the truth is that the Word of God is complete and can never be compromised for anyone’s experience.
Someone said, “You can use philosophy or psychology to illustrate the Word of God, but the Word of God is neither philosophy nor psychology.” In fact, the Word of God is far greater than any discipline or field of study.
The severe consequence of either adding to the Word of God or removing from it is clearly stated in Revelation 22:18-19.
Therefore, each believer is mandated to comply with God’s Word. The good thing about this is that God is not a taskmaster. His instructions are a function of His divine and sincere love for us. They are given for our good.
So, there is no justification for manipulating His Word. Everything you are going through has its solution in the Word. As you devote yourself to studying His Word, you will find answers to all the questions of your heart.
Not only that, you will also find peace, joy and rest. Let your life be in agreement with His Word, then you will not have the need to doctor (add or remove from) God’s Word.
• Birthday Blessing: …But I will see you again and you will rejoice and no-one will take away your joy. John 16:22

As the image on the seal is stamped upon the wax, so the thoughts of the heart are printed upon the actions. - Stephen Charnock
