Tablet Of Your Heart

Proverbs 6:35-7:3 – He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is. My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

Song Of Songs 8:7 – Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

Proverbs 2:1-5 – My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

Jeremiah 31:33 – This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Application:

• ·         “Many waters” were words that suggest not only the ocean depths but also the primeval waters that the people of the ancient Near East regarded as a permanent threat to the world.
• ·         “Store up…within you” just as the psalmist hid God’s word in his heart to avoid sin.
• ·         “Write it on their hearts” so that it effectively governs their lives, in contrast to the ineffectiveness of merely presenting it in writing, though inscribed on durable stone.
