DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 26:1-27:12; Isaiah 65:1-25; Romans 8:1-17

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand…You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house. Deuteronomy 11:18-20, NKJV

Moses gives four vital family injunctions: “Lay up” means “to impress the information in their hearts.” “Bind them,” is to put them in plain sight, as a constant reminder. “Teach them,” is to speak of them at every opportunity. “Write them on the doorposts of your house,” suggests the Scriptures should be in plain view for all to see. The values we teach our children are the values they will live by. —Jim Comte

Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life;
Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life. —P. P. Bliss
