I read that the best way to start each day is to read one Psalm and one Proverb. The Psalm will instruct you on you relationship with God (verticle), and the Proverb will instruct you on your relationship with each other (horizontal.)
These two scriptures pair up to help us understand the importance of a godly heart:
“Blessed are they who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart….” Psalm 119:2.
“I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw.” Proverbs 24:32.
Life is full of lessons. The only problem is many of us never learn from any of them. The key to effective learning is the heart. First of all we seek with our whole heart, and then we apply the heart-felt lesson God teaches us.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
