Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.
Psalm 119:11
God's word is so much more than a list of dos and don'ts. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). By living our lives according to God's design (Word) we experience the fullness of His love, peace, joy, endurance and so much more. Just as guard rails protect us as we drive next to the egdes of mountains and clifts, so does God's word protect us from the dangers of life (sin).
For where your treasure is, their your heart will be also.
Luke 12:34
In order to say as David, "Your word I have treasured in my heart..." we must love God's word. The things of life we value and put the most time into will be the things we treasure most. If you desire for God's word to be your treasure...it must be most valued in your life. Time must be spent reading God's word and as you do, you'll begin to develop a love for His word.
Pleasing Christ is our highest priority...we've learned in Psalm 119:11 it begins with hiding God's word in our hearts.
HIS life, HIS glory!
