(from Deuteronomy. 11:18-25)
This song is about laying the foundation our identity in Christ by immersing in the Word. I make it mine in the desire of my heart and the understanding of my mind. I let the Word govern the grasp of my hands and the desire of my eyes. The verses also exhort us to pass these vital truths on to our children, creates a culture of faith for them, as well as motivating those of us who are parents, to be an example of integrity.
The obedience of faith transforms what we believe in our heads, into something solid in our life. When we choose to follow God by obeying Him, we produce godliness in our selves. If we choose to disobey, sin consequences result. Love is a choice, not an emotion. Holding fast to God makes our enemies flee because the One with us is so much stronger than all our enemies put together. We can overcome Satan, and even plunder his possessions and territory. Satan cannot prevail against us when we ride on God's shoulders.
