"So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors. "Be careful to obey all these commands I am giving you. Show love to the LORD your God by walking in His ways and holding tightly to Him.
The LORD, God the Almighty knows that I am a forgetful man so He provides several directions to help me keep my commitment foremost in my mind. The first deal with my need to have visual reminders and to have continuous statements to my Personal Mission Field. On my hands to remind me that I am working for the Lord and on my forehead as a testimony to the world. Don't put a fish on the back of your car if you are a habitual speeder.
