Worship into the Week- Deuteronomy 6:1-9
The SHEMA
The Greatest Commandment
Love God-
with every fiber of your being.
The command is rather daunting-
with all your soul, all your heart and all your might.
I can't even attempt that
without the help of the Holy Spirit.
But, this command lays out the morning till night,
in your place and in your face model.
This prayer is usually considered the most
essential prayer in the Jewish faith.
So how can the THE SHEMA
be helpful to a Christian today?
1. The Shema is a great reminder to Christians
of the wholeness of our worship of God.
2. The Shema calls us to live a Bible-saturated life-
in how we study God's Word
and in our calling to make disciples.
3. The Shema keeps in the forefront of our lives that
obedience to God is out of love rather than duty.
4. The word Shema is Hebrew for Hear.
It reminds us to declare our love for Jesus by listening
to the Father and carefully living out our lives as a
follower and disciple of Jesus with all our might.
It certainly is a wonderful reminder
as we step out of the house and return each day.
