The Power Of His Word Once Hidden In Your Heart, Priceless

“Your word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” The way we won’t sin against God is to hide His word in our hearts. Meaning we must know and understand His word to the point it becomes a part of us. Meditate in His word day and night and you’ll make your own way prosperous (Joshua 1:8). If we do sin against God, we have a mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ who can relate to our struggles and shortcomings. Our understanding must be enlightened to the word of God to the point we have renewed our minds in the way we think, the way we react to crisis or calamity. You become comforted in your thoughts with this new way of thinking based on the Lord’s teachings and precepts. Jesus is the Living word of God. Upon His visit to earth to become a living sacrifice for our sins, He kept His sinless nature because God was His Father, and He never yielded to the temptations we all deal with. In doing so, He led the way as an example to us of what it is to hide God’s word in our hearts. He overcame the sin by only using the word of God. He left His deity in heaven, no super powers to fight Satan, only God’s written word (which is all powerful and effective against Satan and his crew). Hide His word in your heart and it’ll be there when trouble comes, and it will keep you from sinning against God.
