As Moses nears the end of his life, he urges God's people to "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you" (Deuteronomy 32:46). What the people had heard from the lips of Moses had been the words that God had given him for them. "They are not just idle words for you - they are your life" (Deut 32:47).
We have God's word to us in printed form today and His word is so much more than just so many words on a lot of pages. "The word of God is living and active" (Heb 4:12). It "is at work in you who believe" (1 Thess 2:13). "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16). When you and I read the Bible we are reading a source of life given to us by God. His words ARE life! Read them regularly and you will find nourishment for your spirit and soul.
