"An Intrinsic Part of Life"

September 08, 2023 Daily Devotion: "An Intrinsic Part of Life" Proverbs 3:3-4 New International Version 3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.4 Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man. Jesus taught the same principle. He said one man built his house on a rock while another was built on sand (Matthew 7:24-27). In rain and wind, the home on the solid foundation was protected. But Jesus was teaching about obedience, not construction. The point is that life must be built on the dependability of the gospel if we’re to withstand the storms that arise. Today’s proverb says, “Do not let kindness and truth leave you … Write them on the tablet of your heart” (v. 3). Truth should be an intrinsic part of life, as second nature as breathing.
