Deuteronomy 6:4-5
4. Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one.
5. And you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your means.
"SHEMMA! Listen!
It's what the teacher and student hope from each other for the relationship to succeed.
Most importantly it's what THE ALMIGHTY shouts to His people, "SHEMA Yisrael" Listen Israel...
The word "SHEMA" with its three letters onomatopoetically sounds out three ideas that together may help us get our arms around that giant of a word- "SHEMA"
- SHHH- Listen!
Quiet down for a moment! Remove all external distractions. Focus undisturbed! (Not so easy!)
- MMMM- Understand!
Hear well what's being said. Let the message be absorbed gently and thoughtfully into your system.
Finally:
- AHHHH- Accept!
Stop resisting what you know to be true in your heart of hearts! Surrender to an idea that is bigger than you! Be ready to act upon and live up to it.
If only the word- "SHEMA" would be heard, understood, and accepted properly and exercised practically.
What a different world and what a different life it would be and who knows how wise we would be."
