Verse Takeaways

The Principle of Presence
Commentators explain this verse is the origin of the Jewish practice of the 'mezuzah,' where scripture is placed on doorposts. For Christians, the principle is to make God's Word a constant, visible presence in our homes. As Matthew Henry suggests, the intent is that we should 'by all means make the word of God familiar to us,' so it's ready to guide us in all situations.
