Introduction

Deuteronomy contains two sets of rules. Those appearing in chapters 5—11 are more general and provide the basic laws that will be made more specific in the second set of rules found in chapters 12—26. In today’s reading, Moses tells the people that the LORD wants them to obey the rules in the Promised Land. He urges them to listen and obey, that they may become a strong nation. Then he shares the important commandment later underscored by Jesus: to love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul and strength (see Mark 12:30).

Today’s Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:7

Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are resting and when you are working.

Today’s Reading 

Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Reflect

What does Moses tell the people to do? Why are they told to write and discuss the laws over and over again? How might this kind of discipline impact their understanding and practice of the law? How might this discipline be helpful in your daily life?

Pray

Lord, I seek to know you more deeply day by day. Help me keep your Word at the front of my mind that I may deepen my faith and share it with others. Amen.
