TALK:  Consider some of these ideas

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  You shall love the Lord d you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.”  (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

God gives God’s commandments and laws as a gift to help us honor God, others, and self.  These gifts can be written on our heart, soul, and mind.

  • How do laws impact your day-to-day life?  Are all laws good? 
  • What would you change if you made the rules? 
  • Commandments were designed to create order in relationships.  What commandments are most valuable in your own life and relationships?  Why?

PRAY:  Dear Lord, you long for us not only to know and to follow your ways, but to love them as well.  Fill our hearts with the spirit of your law, that we might live each day as you would have us live.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.

BLESS:  May the commandments of God be a blessing in your life.  Amen.
