Deuteronomy 6:1-9 These are the commands, decrees and laws
the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land
that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children
and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as
you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and
so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to
obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in
a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your
ancestors, promised you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is
one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments
that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on
your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the
road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on
your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the
door frames of your houses and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NRSV)
Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite
them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are
away, when you lie down and when you rise.
Thought for today: What is your legacy? How do people know that
you serve God?
