SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: Communication
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Message of the verses: “6
"These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your
heart. 7
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. 8 "You shall bind them as a sign on your
hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. 9
"You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your
gates.”
Although it
was good for the Jewish people to take this verse literally and have verses of
Scripture written out and carried around and also putting them on the doorposts
of their home the emphasis of this section seems to mean that the Word of God
was to be hidden in their heart as the Psalmist wrote, “Thy Word is written in
my heart that I might not sin against you.”
This
section also shows the importance of teaching the Word of God to our children
early on and then have them to continue to learn it as they grow older in order
for them to realize the importance of the Word of God.
As NT
believers we have the Holy Spirit living in our hearts and as we read and then
memorize and then meditate on the Word of God He can use it to change our lives
so that we can walk in a way that is worthy of our calling and also have
influence on others who see a live that is glorifying to the Lord.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: One of the hardest things that I try to do is
to memorize the Word of God, and I believe this section of Scripture shows the
importance of memorizing the Word of God and also to meditate on the Word of
God, for by doing so it will have life changing effects on me.
My Steps of Faith for
Today:
- I want to be more diligent in my memorizing the Word of God.
- Continue to learn contentment.
- Trust the Lord to guide my path today.
Memory verses for the week: Ephesians
1:1-6
- Paul,
an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ,
- just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love
- He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
- to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
