Shema is a command YHVH (God) gave the children of Israel, upon their deliverance from Egypt. No longer were they to hearken with their physical understanding? They were to attend and take notice with their hearts.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deuteronomy 6:4.
Every day our ears detect sounds and voices, we process the words we hear as important or unimportant. Including those who are nearest to us, we decide to listen to their words by what we deem important. YHVH commanded Israel to hearken to what He was saying, "The Lord ( My Adonai) is one.
In a world filled with many voices, God's children must understand with their hearts. We must not become spiritually deaf in disregarding God's. By choosing to hear and obey His words, and His commands only then can we be led by His Spirit.
"Shema!"
