Philippians 1:9-11
When my kids were all still really little, I started writing their names next to certain passages in
my Bible, dedicating specific ones to each child. I even printed out some of those verses and
scrapbooked cute little plaques for each child, posting them just outside the doors to their rooms.
I got the idea while reading this verse:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall
teach them diligently to your children, 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.
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your
eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy
6:5-9)
Growing roots is just the beginning of God’s work in us. When our roots are established and
we bear fruit, and part of that fruit is bringing the love and truth of God into the lives of those
around us. I put those verses on my kids’ doors—and I teach in my church, and I write these
studies—because I want to teach the hows and whys of loving God to those I do life with. I want
to teach it to my children, to my neighbors, my friends, and anyone I come in contact with.
In what ways do you bring God’s Word into your everyday relationships??
