Deuteronomy 11:19 Teach them to your children, (The Lord calls us to complete obedience and shows us ways in practical terms to walk out a continuous and foundational focus on Him and His requirements. Here He reminds us the words of our mouth need to speak forth the truth of His Word in constructive and productive ways. Not only are we to adopt His ways through the work of our hands and the meditations of our heart, but we are commanded to teach God's ways to our children. A strong focus and memory device, teaching always provides learning not only for the student, but for the teacher as well. In a teaching situation, the teacher always learns the most and becomes even better able to teach what he learns to others.) talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (We are to center our thoughts and speech about the Lord and be focused on Him throughout our day. The word sit refers to our position as judge and also to the intimacy we experience with those in our home. The Lord reminds us to keep His law, His Word, at the forefront in these times. The term walk along the road refers to the direction our life takes, the road of life on which we walk. He reminds us to keep He law, His Word, at the forefront of our daily path of life. He also reminds us to focus our thoughts on Him both when we lie down at night to begin our day in rest in Him and also when we rise up in the morning to walk out His plans for us in His strength. Similar to the Apostle Paul's reminder to pray without ceasing, this charge is for us to be mindful of the Lord in all the activity in which we are engaged, in whatever we turn our hand and mind to.)
