Scripture teaches that we should be careful to write the Word, which is made up of God's love and faithfulness on the tablets of our heart. His instructions are that we pay attention to and not forget God's Law. Etched on my heart, I desire the very Word of God.
Proverbs 3:1-3 declares, "My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."
The result of holding the Word tightly is long life and prosperity. And that is exactly what the world is in search of. So speak the Word to those around you who are lost and need direction. Share the love of God and Scripture with the broken and the unsaved. The void they feel can only be found in a true relationship with God. And His Word is the roadmap to give them the direction they seek.

God's Word is forever settled in heaven according to Psalm 119:89 and we establish it each time we speak it. Therefore, speaking God's Word holds great power in the life of the Christian. It is also extremely powerful to those who are lost. "It is the power of God unto salvation".
In Psalm 45:1, David said that his tongue was as the pen of a ready writer. Speaking the Word establishes the Word in the inner man and carves it on our hearts. It transforms us from the inside out, cleansing and changing and perfecting us. It is powerful. Etched on the Heart is the love of God.
