“Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; “ - Deuteronomy 4v9
God’s directions to Israel were not just for the body as a whole, but were intended for each individual as well. Look how personal God makes this injunction – “Take heed to yourself, keep your soul diligently, don’t forget the things you have seen, don’t let them depart from your heart, teach them to your sons, and your son’s sons.”
While our faith stresses looking outward to edify and help others, it must be looking inward when dealing with obeying Christ and our Christian walk. Our primary focus must be on our own Christian walk, our own obedience, and our own children.
I wonder how much the body of Christ would change is we focused primarily on making sure that our won walk with the Lord was right?
