God’s commandment to the Israelites
Read Deuteronomy 6
God gave several commandments to the people of Israel shortly before they entered the promised land.
- Love God with all your heart, mind, and strength – 5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
- Let the word of God be in your heart – vs. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
- Teach your children the commandments of God – vs. 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
- Discuss and meditate on the commandment of God in your room, when you are relaxing in your living room, when you are walking on the road, when you want to sleep, and when you wake up. – vs. 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
- Focus on God’s words 24/7 – vs. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
- Post God’s commandments on the walls, windows, doors, and gates of your house.
