Are you forgetting something?

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

"4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 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. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."

Looking down to verse 12, " Be careful that you do not forget the Lord......" Living in cities, i'm pretty sure all of us go on with our day pretty fast. Everything is so fast paced in this generation that we miss the small little details and most importantly..We forget God. And the worst thing is that we even forget God exist sometimes.

God is a jealous God and he wants very much to be a part of our lives. Be it even a small part. The simpliest example is a father craving to spend a little quality time with a son who is to busy hanging out with his pals.

Going back to verses 4 to 9. They are like what seems to be endless commandments of what the Lord wants us to do. Really seems like a kill joy doesnt it? A let down? God's taking away our freedom and choice?..Well, just stop to think for a second. We must do all these things to please him. And what for.....It all leads back to the same point. He wants us to remember him that he may be a part of our lifes.

Like Colin said, he's throwing a brick at us. But this time, it's so that we would notice him....He has to go to the extend of throwing a brick for us to notice him. Personally, to me, i feel as a child i have let my father down. What father has to go to the extend of throwing a brick at his daughter so that his daugther would stop and talk to him?


When was the last time you remembered God?
