The Sh’ma: First Things First

“… And when you get up” (verse 7e).

To children, being first means they are winners. It means they will be given privileged treatment. Winning, especially when the odds of winning are against us, is a heroic accomplishment.

God wants to be our Hero. He deserves it. He has accomplished things for us that no other god could—not money, friends, influence, skills, or good looks.

When we daily remember that he has delivered us from Satan’s snares, defeated death by rising from the grave, and overcome sin with the power of his forgiveness, we are raising his reputation to the status of a superhero. Because he has sacrificed so much to be our spiritual champion, Jesus wants to be in our thoughts all the time. He wants to be our first thought when we wake up and our last thought before we go to sleep. He wants to be first in our lives for the rest of our lives.

These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me (Moses) to teach you (the Children of Israel) to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, ² so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. ³ 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.
⁴ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. ⁵ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength. ⁶ These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. ⁷ 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.
