“If It’s Fun And Works!”

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

I know when I do schoolwork and I am studying for a test. I have done this for years. I take index cards and write stuff down I want to remember for a test. So, I can successfully pass the test. I study them while I am doing dishes. I put the index cars on the windowsill over the sink. I will move those index cards wherever I go so I can study. I remember one time like in the 90’s, I came home from work. My daughter had taken tub paint and wrote all over the walls of the bathroom, the tub, the back of the toilet and on the door because she was studying for a test. The bathroom was with no one in it when I got home. So, I asked everyone who did this to the bathroom. My daughter Jen said. I did mom! I had to study for a test, and I thought this would help me. You know like your index cards. Hmm! I said are you going to clean the mess? She said when she was done studying. If it is fun and works. Hey!
It reads in Deuteronomy 6:3-12,~
Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 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 on 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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you, a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant, then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

{Let’s Pray}

Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your truth and the examples that give courage and a way to teach others your truths by making it fun, self-explanatory and to remember Your promises. You are the builder of courage and character. Help all of us to grow stronger in Your love and to stand for what is right in Your light in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
