“Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11 (NASB)
We may be familiar with this verse being interpreted as to memorizing Scripture. It is true that when we memorize a Bible verse it is like hiding its message in our heart. And it is also true that verses that we have memorized can come back to us in times of need. But let us consider and suggest hiding the truth found in God's Word in our heart without really memorizing exact words. Memorizing Bible verses is a very important practice we should all do. But so is memorizing the truth of the Bible with what we learn from it. This is also a way of treasuring or storing God's Word in our heart. Hearing the truths of God’s Word taught and accepting them by faith, makes them a part of our code of living. It is through knowing the Word of God that our character is formed in a way that pleases and honors God. Godly character helps us to live right and avoid doing something wrong. Our promise is that God's Word, when treasured, develops a holy life.
