Good Morning Girls Week 6 Our Children Deuteronomy 6:1-9

I'm just about a week behind with our studies. This week just seems to have gotten away from me. So here's the reading for Monday, 2/24/14.

Read: Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Love the Lord Your God

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, 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. 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.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.

S: Deuteronomy 6:7-9
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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates. 

O: God teaches us that we should always talk about His commands so that we never forget what they are and what they mean. We need to impress this upon our children so that it will be passed down to each and every generation. 

This passage tells us to do whatever is necessary so we don't forget God's commands. These are our rules for how we should live our lives. Write it down, tattoo it, hang it on our walls...whatever it takes so that we see it each and every day. 

When my kids were little I made sure they were always in church. Over the years it didn't really take hold of my kids. It was as they got older that two of them decided to stay with the church. 

That's how it all starts. It starts with us. It's never too late to start. Even for us as adults, we can use the reminder. 


A: I could use a reminder or two about what God has instructed us to do. I'm trying to turn my life around. To finally do what is right. I constantly stay in the Word. I listen to Christian music. I go to bible study. I go to church. It is through those things that I keep myself centered on Christ. One of these days it will just be a natural part of my life. But, for now, I will do whatever it takes to remind myself of what it is God wants from us.

P: Father, I ask You to help me be able to be a teacher to my children and my grandchildren. I pray that I will be a good influence on them. Help me stay centered on You and Your will. In Your Holy Name I pray this. Amen.
