In Hebrew the word Shema is repeated twice in a sentence to give it emphasis

If you Shema Shema meaning, listen closely

But also notice that from God's point of view listening is basically the same as keeping the covenant

So, when God ask the people to Shema, what He means is that they listen and obey

And that's the last fascinating thing about Shema

Remember, we cannot become what we were born to be by remaining what we are

Just as the mother eagle removes the comfort of her feathery nest to disturb the young eagles into flying (uhh oh)

So our Creator moves us beyond our comfort zones so that we are forced to fly (fly)

Without this stirring, most of us would never fly (Huh)

An eagle that doesn't fly cannot fulfill its purpose

Likewise, your life will lack purpose and focus until you discover your wings (wings)

This discovery will require both wisdom and courage

Because the thrill of flying always begins with the fear of falling

Yet you are not left alone find your wings because God, through the prophet Moses

promises to undertake you (I need that)

Indeed, the greatest gift God can offer you is to push you into a crisis of temporary discomfort

That requires you to try your wings

This pushing into crisis is His supreme act of love

Akin to that of a mother eagle that pushes her young from the nest to force them to fly (Fly)

So count it all joy

All the discomfort is working for your good, fly
