The Lord gave me this scriptures in my mind.

Deuteronomy 6:5-25 NIV

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.   When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 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 plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord , who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.   Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah. Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. Do what is right and good in the Lord 's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.   In the future, when your son asks you, "What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?" tell him: "We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."

Insight:

God's commandment to us is to love Him with all our heart, soul and strength.  The commandment has to be always in the core of our heart so much so that we talk about it the whole day, whether we sit down, walking, lie down or when we are awake or rise up. Whatever we do with our hands, we do it for Him (symbols on our hands), we do it all for His glory, even for those little tiny or deemed unimportant tasks, we have to be faithful to God in doing any single task he entrusted to us. Bind them on our foreheads - we always have God in mind, He is always in our hearts and in our minds.  We feel for Him, we bear the same burden as Him, we stand in His presence for His interest,  His purposes and His burden. This is all by His grace as no one can stand in the presence of God and live, but it is by His grace. When we experience revival and He elevated us, bring us out to a higher position,  when He promoted us, those are not earn By us, He gave them to us freely, not by our single effort,  we must not take it for granted and think big about ourselves.  Instead always humble ourselves before God, God's will for us is that we do not forget Him, fear Him, serve Him only and do not follow the people around us. Otherwise, esp for those who had tasted the goodness of God and turned away from Him after 'eat and satisfied', God is a jealous God and His anger will burn against those and he will destroy them from the face of the land. God does not please with those who test Him. One should not be ignorant of God's justice and His commandments though He is our loving heavenly Father! The more we have tastes His goodness, the more we should humble ourselves before Him!
