Deuteronomy 5-7
The Israelites were encouraged to remember God's laws. He offered tecniques and strategy to help. They were to repeat them to their children at different times and places, on the road and at home. They were to write them on the walls, doorframes, clothing, and various places on their bodies. In this way, the children of Israel would be better able to remember what God felt important.

When I read this I can't help but think of my son and daughters. If you go into their house you are likely to find scripture references written on post-it notes in various locations throughout. You might find quotations written on the mirrors. Scripture is found framed and either hanging on the wall or sitting on a flat surface. It is not at all uncommon to see tidbits from God's word on clothing and hats. Symbols that point to Jesus are seen in and on various items. They even use more modern methods, taking advantage of technology, to put the Word out in front. It's very common to see them share a verse on Facebook and other internet related venues. They are simply living out what God had encouraged the Israelites to do. And, in so doing, they are blessing their children, each other, and countless others they come into contact with on a daily basis. God is blessing their lives, and I believe He will continue to honor their faithfulness to His word!
