Asking God to
“stir my heart to the plans
He has for my life,”
I woke thinking about Mary.
“But Mary treasured up all these things,
pondering them in her heart.” Luke 2:19 (ESV)
Hebrew for “heart” is the three letter word– lebab (lay-bawb)
Lamed –
Word picture – Staff or Rod
Shepherd, to learn, to accompany,
Instruction, authority.
Bet –
Picture of a “tent or house”
Within, heart, begin to,
build, family.

Rolling the word pictures around,
as peppermint on my tongue,
Suddenly,
Illumination,
Revelation,
bright as the angels
proclaiming
God’s glory,
The Shepherd’s, Heart, in my Heart!
Like Mary, who pondered
the joy and words of the shepherds
who came looking for Jesus,
I too am treasuring
His stirring of the heart.
The Shepherd,
Whose heart is for me,
Lives within me.
Speaking,
His blessings,
Plans, and
Light into my
Heart and life!
“And the angel said,
‘Fear not, for behold,
I bring you good news
Of great joy that will
Be for all the people.”
Luke 2:10 (ESV)
“Receive instruction from His mouth,
And layup His Words in your heart.”
Job 22:22 (ESV)
Awesome!

Thank you Faye:) I love the Hebrew letters and their pictures. They speak to me. Three times they are mentioned in Exodus; which I think is a divine message to take a look. “…and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.” Exodus 32:15 And if “everything” points to Jesus, surely, the letters do also:) “…written with the finger of God.” Exodus 31:18 :):):)
