Day 72 - Careful

Deuteronomy 4:9: Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. (ESV)

There is much in the reading for today that deals with our carefulness to observe the ways of the Lord. Take some time and re-read (or re-listen to) the text and note how many times that concept appears. Why is there so much emphasis on our carefulness in observing the ways of the Lord? What is the result of carefulness and what is the result of a slack attitude? Where else in Scripture do you see this call to be careful?
