Practical God

"on that day tell your son, 'I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.' This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand."

i love how practical God is with us. he knows how soon we forget. he understands that we're physical leaners...we learn by doing, not just by hearing or even saying. and so he often gave the Israelites practical object lessons to remember the things that he had done for them. and this verse comes out of an example of that in Exodus 13. a day to remember what God had done to deliver his people. so he tells them to eat unleavened bread. and to tell the stories of his greatness to the younger generation. because he should be forever on our lips. these words just really got me...
