Don't Just Do, Observe To Do

Deuteronomy 6:3 KJV
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

It is as if Moses told the people, "Ok, here you have it. These are God's commandments. Now observe to do it." 

What else is there, when the people have heard but to urge them not only to do what God commanded but to observe to do it? They were to work at doing it. They were to take measures to see that they did it. 
Those measures are laid out for them in the chapter
  • Teach them to the children
  • Write them in the posts of the house
  • Sew them into the borders of their garments


Nothing has changed today. We know the word of God. We have it before us. Ours is now simply to observe to do what it says.
