19 He must always keep this copy of the law with him and read it daily as long as he lives. That way he will learn to fear the Lord his God by obeying all the terms of this law.
20 This regular reading will prevent him from becoming proud and acting as if he is above his fellow citizens. It will also prevent him from turning away from these commands in the smallest way. This will ensure that he and his descendants will reign for many generations in Israel.
Deuteronomy 17:18-20
As I read this, it struck me that this is also the way God wants me to live as a child of The King. I am so lucky I did not have to copy the law in order to read it daily. I really have no excuses -- It is available easily in my Bible, and in any computer! My favorite computer place is Blue Letter Bible. I can use their daily reading plan, I can look at a daily devotional, I can even read in one of several translations.
Song for Today:
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
