Whole Bible Applications: Tassels

Bruce S. Bertram from The Word of God Ministries and http://www.wholebible.com takes a look at the whole Bible application of tassels to the believer's daily walk.

It might not seem like much, but some hanging threads on the corners of your garments are a great help as reminders to walk in God's ways. And believe me, it does make a difference. I don't know why, but these reminders help a great deal to discipline the awareness and help me remember to match my actions with my words. At first I felt a little weird wearing them, but most people do not know what they mean so after a bit I just relaxed and concentrated on using them to remind me not to sin. Most people do not understand the significance, and probably think they're some sort of Native American fetish, but so what.

Notice that this command is not for other people, but for the individual. The tassels are to remind me about the instructions of my Father, and to help me remember not to follow after my own understanding. They are not for showing how holy I am, or for how closely I follow someone's interpretation of the Word. They are reminders for me, because my eyes and heart are tempted to go a different way than God commanded.
