Covenant Drift

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” (From Deuteronomy chapter 6)

The people who know God loves them dearly - those to whom God makes this known - have drifted away from the kind of covenant this love established with them. This problem is not unsolvable. It just takes a well-heeded reminder that there is a way to renew and maintain this love again by setting God’s words in full view where we will frequently see them and learn to obey them and having learned obedience, teach them. What better way to love the Creator who made you than to write words from Him and put them up in your house and use your internet voice to publish them on social media. He has said things of special value to you as an individual if you love Him and you can love Him more by teaching these words to your children and putting them on your social media wall or profile. There are several kinds of commands of God which can be written out for a constant reminder and aid to understanding: 
- the commission kind (such as to build eachother up and thus build His kingdom and temple); 
- the direct kind (such as when He is intending to do a miracle and tells someone what to do to achieve it); 
- the general kind to all such as to love Him and eachother; 
- the truth kind such as when He reveals to us truth and implicitly commands we live by it.
