Therefore take great care to love The LORD your G-d.
It’s a simple message repeated again and again: love G-d and keep his ways. Y’hoshua tells this to Israel after they have come into the Land, taken possession of it and are at peace from their enemies. Y’hoshua tells this to Israel before they have a chance to fall away from their Maker. It isn’t enough to feel love, care has to be taken to actively show love through action. Thoughts lead to feelings which lead to actions. May we all take care to live lives unmistakably marked by love for our Heavenly Father.
