Deuteronomy 5: 4 “Hear, O Yisra’el: YHWH our Elohim,YHWH is one!
5 “And you shall love YHWH your Elohim...with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.
6 “And these words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,
7 and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up,
8 and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 “And you shall write them on the door-posts of your house and on your gates.
I like the words in this translation that say " and you shall impress them upon your children"
Impress
im·pressed, im·press·ing, im·press·es
1. To affect strongly, often favorably: ...See More
2. To produce or attempt to produce a vivid impression or image of: a scene that impressed itself on her memory
3. To mark or stamp with or as if with pressure:
4. To apply with pressure; press.
If we impress them right they will never forget. I surely wish my parents would had done that to me. Press me Yah today! Put a stamp on my forehead. We desire to be a banner , a light and salt in the earth. How a light can hide in darkness? If we make people in the world uncomfortable with our presence then we are reflecting light. I think that when we come to our Hebrew Roots and find the truth we become "peculiar people" . Let's impress truth and Spirit in our children and do not wait until they are in the teens. 8 out of every 10 leave the faith of their fathers today. The years of 4-12 are the "fertile ground" years and give the most fruit.
Shalom!
