Gotta Have It
Deut 6 5 Love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your
strength. 6 These commandments that I give you
today are to be upon your hearts. 7 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. 8 Tie them as
symbols on your hands and bind them on your
foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your
houses and on your gates.  10 When the LORD your
God brings you into the land he swore to your
fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give
youa land with large, flourishing cities you did
not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of
good things you did not provide, wells you did
not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did
not plantthen when you eat and are satisfied, 12
be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who
brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of
slavery.

Upon Your Hearts

• Commands are to be upon your hearts
• So real that it becomes a part of you
• Cant give what you dont have
• Luke 645
• 45The good man brings good things out of the good
  stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings
  evil things out of the evil stored up in his
  heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his
  mouth speaks.
• We see this everyday
• At work at home
• Sports, family, house, video games, health
• Pictures
• Time Passion
• Question is how do we replace those things in our
  hearts with Him? (Ez 3626 - surgery)?
