A high concentration of wisdom

Deuteronomy 6 is saturated with wisdom. A casual survey will uncover the greatest commandment and two responses to Satan's three temptations. Why did I say wisdom? It is a conclusion drawn from many centuries of piety and worship. It reads
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 9:10)
Following God's command, Moses taught the Israelites the commandment, the statues and the ordinances of the Lord so that they may keep them (Deuteronomy 6:1), that they may fear the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:2) and that they might fulfill God's promises to Abraham (Deuteronomy 6:3). However, we find much fewer teachings of "fearing God" in the gospels. Usually, we hear "fear not" in the gospels because they are good news!

This is the first commandment Moses taught them. This is the famous Shema.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD;
and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
Jesus defended himself with this when a teacher of the Law challenged him (Mark 12:29-30).
Of course, Jesus answered well. However, what can we do? Nobody can love God with all his heart, his soul and his might. We have a lot of daily cares which keep on bothering us so that we have no time even to read the Bible. Moreover, To love God with ALL is too demanding and not performable. Luckily, Shema does not specify the duration. Which means we still have a chance to totally love God, say for one minute. We would only do as much as it is within our capability. May God help us fulfil His good will.

Proceeding a few verses more, we find the line which Jesus quoted to refuse worshipping Satan.
You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him, and swear by his name (Deuteronomy 6:13).
Jesus paraphrased it to answer Satan's challenge. Serve only the Lord.
This seems to be relatively easier to perform. Of course we should serve the Lord. Who would want to serve Satan? But nowadays, Satan shall not invite us in person to serve it. Rather, it shall send its representatives which are difficult to decline. Help us Lord.

A few lines below, we find the line which Jesus quoted to refuse throwing himself down from the top of the Temple.
You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah (Deuteronomy 6:16).
But it is too abstract. When have we put God to the test? What kind of test have we ask God to perform?
The clue lies in the story at Massah where the Israelites had no water to drink. They complained and in the end, Moses struck a rock with his staff to give them water. This was the same staff which Moses used to part the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross. I have difficulty explaining what made the incident at Massah a test of the Lord. When was the last time I tested the Lord?

Dear Lord, strengthen my feeble knees to proceed ahead. Amen.
