Deut 6:6-9
"These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them
when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you
lie down and when you rise up. "You shall bind them as a sign on your
hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. "You shall write
them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.


All of us have gone to the Christian bookstores and have seen the
beautiful works of art created out of scripture. I'm sure many of us
have at least one of them hanging in our home. I know I do. How many
of us can quote that scripture without looking at it? Do you stop
when passing it and reflect on what it means to us each time we see
it?

God is calling us to keep His word ever before us, to even go so far
as to hang them on our gates and the doorposts of our home and write
them on our hands! Why would we need to do this? I can tell you why I
need to...

I have had some difficulties in life and have found that unless I
listen carefully to the Spirit speaking, I will focus on the problem
rather than the promises. And how easy that is to do. I have purposed
in my heart that I will make it a point NOT to grieve the Holy Spirit
any longer by ignoring the words and teachings given to me to combat
the circumstances that come upon me. God does not promise us a
trouble free life, but He does promise victory in every turn.

Isaiah 30:21 says: Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is
the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

Let us all purpose in our hearts to hang our own scriptures on the
walls, gates and doorposts of our home. Take time to read them as you
walk in and out of your home, room or yard everyday and see what
happens. God has promised us that if we diligently obey His
commandment that we will eat the best of the land! (Isa. 1:19)
