Did you know that if the human brain were an actual computer, it would have up to 2.5 million gigabytes of storage? Yet even with all of this capacity, humans still tend to forget things, so they have adapted ways to help. The act of tying a string around your finger to help you remember something dates back to when people would tie a piece of cloth around any part of their body that hurt. This was done to keep the “spirit of life” in that part of the body and prevent the pain from spreading; therefore, tying a string around the finger was believed to keep the memory there.

Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

Proverbs 7:3

In His infinite wisdom, God understands that humans forget all too easily. In today’s verse, He instructs you to tie His commandments to your fingers. That way, wisdom from the Bible will be remembered and help you keep away from sin.

Has forgetting God’s Word ever caused you to stumble into trouble? Take time each day to commit His commandments to heart so that you may live protected by His wisdom. Pray also for the nation’s citizens and leaders to remember His commands and live by them.
