“And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law ... and he shall read in it all the days of his life” (17:18-19). When the Israelites entered the Promised Land, their king needed to be a leader in reading, knowing, and keeping God’s Law. Like all Israelites, he was not free to worship how he wanted but was commanded to reject idolatry and strictly observe proper worship, “that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers” (ch 16). 

“He shall read it ...” (17:19). We all need the breath of God’s Word. Kings and ordinary people, young and old, we desperately need God’s Word to teach, encourage, and strengthen us every day.
