Judges 2:7-8 7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the Lord which He had done for Israel. 8 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Judges 2:10 … and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord , nor yet the work which He had done for Israel. 11 Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals, 12 and they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers…and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples…
1 Samuel 1:3 … Now the sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were priests to the LORD there.
1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord
“No success in public life can compensate for failure in the home.” - Benjamin Disraeli
These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, Deuteronomy 6:1
so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Deuteronomy 6:2
3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one . Deuteronomy 6:3-4
Deuteronomy 6:5 5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 6 And these words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart ; 7 and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Why focus on the heart? Man is more concerned about behavior . God is more concerned about the heart . Behavior is external . Heart is internal . The heart is the root ; the behavior is the fruit . Lasting change takes place in the heart.
