Teach and Remember
Deuteronomy 11:14-24
Synopsis Deuteronomy 11:14-24 2/11/2018
Moses instructed the Israelites to not take their knowledge of God’s precepts for granted. He instructed that they should keep them front and center of their thoughts. He encouraged them to use reminders to help them. Appropriate reminders included phylacteries, and writings on the fence gates and doorposts of their homes. He also tasked them to teach the law of the Lord to the coming generations.
Teach and Remember
The idea was that regular discourse about the law of the Lord would become so habitually integrated in the daily routine that both God and His precepts could not be forgotten. Teaching and remembering would become the same.
The habit of thinking about God.
The habit of worshipping God.
“Keep my commands and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye; Bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.” Prov 7:2-3
