Deut. 11:19 "Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Deut. 11 is awesome! There is loads of great stuff in this passage but verse 19 stuck out to me. God instructs his people to discuss him, his word, and his law at all times. They are to discuss God and his truth when they are sitting at home, walking along the road, all day every day.
I think if every home in the world did this, our world would be a much better place. What if discussing God and his truth were an integral part of our life-just as we discuss the day's events, weather and sports? I need to do this with my family. The cumulative effect of these kinds of discussions could literally be life changing for my children. What if we enjoyed discussing our savior more than the five day outlook, who in Hollywood is in rehab, and what the final five man rotation for the Twins will be? Tonight's dinner discussion will be Jesus.
Dear Jesus, help me have you on my mind more than anything else. Amen.
