Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭11‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Pervasive. Engrossing. Enveloping.

God expects the exercise of our faith to reach into every facet of our lives.

Not only to demonstrate whose we are but protective against the forces of evil that insidiously rally against us to lead us into the ways of the dark side and the evil one.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭14‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Just as he chose the nation of Israel he chooses us also who proclaim the salvation of Jesus.

Fixing, tying, binding, writing, teaching, and talking about the word of God daily is the key to life in him.

So easily distracted and misled like sheep, we live only when we are immersed in the voice of our shepherd.

Wherever you go I shall follow, willingly fixed, tied, and bound.
