It is the month of chocolate hearts, pillows shaped like hearts, and Valentine cards splattered with hearts. No wonder that I’ve chosen HEART for the February Write the WORD theme – it is all around us!
When I entered “heart” in my Bible search program, 725 results were reported! 725! From those 725, I pared down to the 28 featured on this month’s Write the WORD bookmark. Some are familiar and others, not so much. I like to think of it as the biblical equivalent of, “make new friends but keep the old.” I pray the familiar verses take on new shades of deeper understanding this month, and the new ones bring you fresh truths to ponder.
Here’s a sampling of what to expect:
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5)
Lord, show me where I’m holding out.
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. (Psalm 20:4)
O LORD, I pray my desires are in alignment with your plans for me.
…Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)
Jesus, thank you for filling my heart with peace. Because you are with me, I do not fear.
God especially drew my heart to this verse in the Psalms, penned by David:
My heart is steadfast, O God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music. (Psalm 57:7)
When we read these verses, then write them, and then pray over them and consider them in context, there is SO MUCH here! Don’t miss it. Check out the YouTube video from last Monday, where I unpack this passage:
