Deuteronomy 6

And here we have the summation statement for the first tablet of the law: “you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.” What Moses makes clear for Israel in this chapter is also true for us!

• We show our devotion through obedience and service (6:1-13).
• We show our devotion in worship – no other gods (6:14-19).
• We show our devotion by teaching our children about God (6:6-7, 20-25).

Thought for the day: We don’t deserve our inheritance. Just as God choose Israel and gave them an inheritance (6:10-11), so He chose us, and we should worship Him because of it!
