Tassels on Garments
39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.Nothing deep for me today but I just note that God gave the Israelites instructions to make their garments with tassels so they would always have reminders of Him squarely in front of them. He knows our human minds are easily distracted by the daily environment we are immersed in and that having visible reminders of him will help keep people on the right track.
Maybe I need to have a few more visible cues for me to make sure I don't forget for a moment any single day that He is with me. Makes me thing of the WWJD bracelets, not a bad idea really.

I was just thinking about that the other day....my mind went there when the conversation was on tatoo's. I said the only thing I would be willing to get would be something that reminds me of God, and my faith. It's funny how the WWJD thing came and went.

This seems a little harsh doesn't it?
Sometimes the "Old Testament" seems to lack a little grace. The punishments are always severe and ultimate.
