Deuteronomy 6:4–9 says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 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.”
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can make things like reading the Bible or prayer a to-do list or list of shoulds. I am convicted by the article, As for Me and My House as it states: “The point is that this vision for family religion wasn’t something to check off a list; it was a lifestyle.” I want to be doing these things that point me to look more like Christ, not just for myself but the students that are looking to me as an example.
