30 Day Devotion

Day 9

Following the Hebrew prayer Shema from yesterday, here’s a great proverb, connecting with some of the words of the Shema.

The Shema said:
Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

The proverb says:
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.

This proverb is taking what was said in the Shema and bringing out a different flavour in a new way.

This is one of the scriptures that has been a big part of my life, a prayer that I’ve prayed and thought I’ve continually come back to. To trust God with ALL OF MY HEART.

Let it be your prayer today.


Proverbs 3:3-6

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.
