Printed on Our Hearts

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Printed on Our Hearts.” Kirsten Holmberg wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Proverbs 7:1–5; with the key verse, “Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.”, Proverbs 7:3. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

When we have God’s Word (Scripture) stored in our hearts, it is easier to stay on the path of righteousness. Our next step is to internalize more of God’s Word and wisdom. We should treat God’s instructions to us in the Scriptures as something to be cherished, as “the apple of [our] eye” (Proverbs 7:2) and write His words of wisdom on “the tablet of [our] heart” (Proverbs 7:3). We become like scribes, drawing God’s truth from our “fingers” down into our hearts.

Reflect:

How has having Scripture stored in your heart benefited you? How can you begin to internalize more of God’s wisdom?

Prayer:

Loving God, help me to know Your Word intimately that I might live in the way You desire.

My Prayer for You:

I pray that you will know God’s Word intimately that you might live in the way He desires.
