Hide God’s Word in Our Heart:

Then, the Psalmist revealed his next secret to keep himself clean and pure, and that is to hide God’s Word in his heart, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (v 11). What about you and me? Have you and I hid God’s Word in our hearts? How can you and I hide God’s Word in our hearts? First, we must have a high view of God’s Word and highly value and rejoice in God’s Word “as much as in all riches” (v 14). Those who have a low view of God’s Word and doubt God’s Word cannot hide God’s Word in their hearts. Next, we have to read and study God’s Word and declare God’s Word and share God’s Word with others (v 13). Then, we have to meditate on God’s Word and delight ourselves in His Word with a determination not to forget God’s Word (vv 15-16). By so doing, we shall be blessed, “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Ps 1:2-3). God’s Word is able to make you and me “wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15), so “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom” (Col 3:16). God’s Word is “the sword of the Holy Spirit” (Eph 6:17) that can help you and me to overcome Satan, “ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one” (1 John 2:14). Then, shall you and I not wisely read God’s Word, treasure God’s Word, delight in and meditate on God’s Word, declare God’s Word and hide God’s Word in our hearts?
