- And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deuteronomy6:6-9 – How are you choosing to remember the ways of God? For the people being addressed here they needed to keep all this on their hearts so they’d remember it for themselves and for the moments when their children would ask. They chose to talk about it in their homes, to talk about it when they were going about their business, even first thing in the morning was it something they chose to talk about. They were saying to bind the words to their hands and even write them on their door posts. They didn’t want to forget what God had spoken to them because they knew they needed every word of His in their story. If you agree that God’s Word is that important in your story, how are you planning on keeping it in front of you? When we put God’s Word in front of us daily, it’s not hard to find when we need it most. I love you, but Jesus loves more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1301
- Deuteronomy 6 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities that you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12 then take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Deuteronomy 6:10-12 – It’s clear in this passage that Moses had a goal with everything he was saying…don’t forget it’s been God this whole time that got you here. Everything up to that point for them had been God providing and God moving. The rescue from Egyptian slavery and the manna from Heaven in the wilderness, it was all God. When they would step into the Promise Land and enjoy great cites and good houses and tasty vineyards, all that they didn’t build or plant, it would be God that brought that to them. Moses’ heart and God’s heart was they not forget that it was, is, and would always be because of God that they had what they had. As we look then at our life and the blessings we have, let us remember that it was, is, and will always be a result of God’s provision that we have what we have. The air in our lungs, the family and friends we have, the protection from dark, spiritual forces, the salvation of our souls; all is a result of God and the provision He gives. When today you look at the blessings around you, whatever they may be, remember that it was God who provided and blessed you with such blessings. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2431
