Psalms 119: 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Most of us have a habit of placing things in various areas so that we can find them speedily, or in certain places so that we know without having to give much thought where something is, it may be our keys, a book, a note or how about your bible; this way we can lay our hand on it quickly.
Obviously, we can't carry everything around at one time so we put it here and there so that when that item is needed we know where to find it in a hurry.
Think about what David was saying in this verse above, he describes something that he knows is valuable to him and he mentions reading the word of God.
This is so powerful because David is letting us know the importance of scripture, that we are going to want to be able to recall the Word and have it in our hearts and mine so we can get a hold of it immediately.
What David was saying, is when things come to my mind, thoughts, ideas, that we know are NOT supposed to be there, we recall from memory The Word of God and it helps us, it reminds us of the direction that we need to be going. In other words, it keeps us on track so that we don't allow sin or anything that will distract us from being pleasing to God at all times.
Hide the Word in your heart, read it daily, it will strengthen you and guide you and it will be a comfort to you in difficult times.
I love the Word! Don't you?
Praying with you in mind,
Evangelist: Frank Mc Gee ~
