WFW – Write It On My Heart

WFWlogo

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
      after that time, declares the Lord.
   I will put My laws in their minds
      and write them on their hearts.
   I will be their God,
      and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10

Old Florida Museum 104verse On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off.

This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word. 

As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes written on our hearts.  And…it will not come off!! It cannot be erased.  His Word will guide us in times of trouble, provide grace, mercy, forgiveness, joy, peace and strength….everything that we need for anything that we will face.

What a beautiful and faithful promise to hold on to.  May we have open hearts for Him to write on.

    What a wonderful analogy between God's Word and the possible ink on your hands from the trip to the museum. I love when God uses an ordinary item like ink to remind us of Him and His word. Thank you for sharing this lovely post and lovely thoughts.

    This is beautiful! Both the message and photo!

    I love when imagery of something visual impacts a scripture/truth, making it all the more alive... like the parables. This WFW is one of those for me, thank you!

    What an encouragement it was to me...

    Happy WFW and blessings to you...

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
