Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

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, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes (Deuteronomy 11:18).

Are you a carrier and distributor of God’s Word?

The instruction given to the Israelites to bind the Scripture on their hands and before their eyes is probably given metaphorically, but later the Jews took this literally. They would copy Bible verses on a parchment and put them in a small container called a “frontlet.” Similarly, they took a small leather pouch called a phylactery and wore it around the head and around the left arm, which would be close to the heart. God desires us to communicate His Word to our children, “when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up” (Deuteronomy 6:7).

Employment Point: Treasure God’s Word internally while sharing it externally.
