Put my words in your hearts. Repeat them to your people diligently; whether at home, traveling, and even when sleeping or rising. Have them always at hand, and always on your minds. (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)
Your vision; the work that the Lord God has
given you to do, is the priority for you and your people. Do you repeat it
frequently to them? Is it on their minds when they wake up? Do they go to sleep
at night thinking about the values you have communicated to them frequently and
urgently? When they make decisions at their work each day, are these concepts
etched in their hearts?
Moses knew the value of repetition. He urged
the Israelites to treasure, value, teach, and even obsess about God’s word for
them. He knew that these were the words of life. Moses knew that God’s people
must follow, in every detail – as their top priority, the word of the Lord God.
The same is true today for your people; if they are to be successful, they must
follow the Lord’s will for their lives. Repetition, constant and consistent,
will help them remember to consider the vision and the values you have received
from the Lord, and have communicated to them.
Touch them often with God’s words. Saturate
them in the story of his work in your life, and His desire to work in their
lives.
