Read Deuteronomy 11 in context

Scripture Focus

18Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

19And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

20And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

Deuteronomy 11:18-20

Biblical Context

The passage invites you to lay up these words in your heart and soul, binding them as signs on your hand and frontlets before your eyes. It also calls you to teach these words to your household as you sit, walk, lie down, and rise up.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these verses are not commands to others but stations in the map of your own consciousness. Lay up these words in your heart and soul—let them settle there as a living principle, not external law—so they may be a sign on your hand and a frontlet between your eyes: your actions and attention become aligned with the remembered I AM that you are. When you sit, walk, lie down, rise up, you are teaching the law to your inner child, your future self, and your outer circle. Write them upon the doorposts of your house and gates of your life by constant inner affirmation: "I am guided by these words; I act from divine wisdom." As you dwell in the consciousness of this law, you will notice obedience turning into discernment, and wisdom blooming in family, work, and daily encounters. Imagination is the creative force that makes this possible; to perceive it as real is to live it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a sign on your hand bearing the words, with frontlets between your eyes. Then revise any thought contrary to that law and feel it real in your next moment of stillness.
