"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 upon 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." Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NIV) ("The LORD" is used in place of the Hebrew word "YHWH" which some people pronounce "Yahweh" and others will not pronounce at all.)
The prophet Moses told the people that they should love The Lord completely, with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength. The Lord's commandments should always be in their hearts and on their minds. They should teach them to their children. This is what they should talk about all of the time, where ever they are, at home or walking along the street.
Today, God should always be on our minds and in our thoughts. He should consume our entire being. We should read and meditate on His Holy Word day and night. We should teach His Word to our children, and we should be living examples of it. Our conversations with our family and friends should include references to The Word of God. Everyone that encounters us should see evidence of God in us. Our behavior and our conversation should reflect The Spirit of God that is within us.
