I Will Not Forget Your Word

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.

With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes.

With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.

I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

Psalm 119:9-16

If you have a well-read Bible, it probably has many underlined sections, possible in different colors and marks. An electronic device does not have all of this. We also know the best place for the Bible is not at our bedside, but in our hearts.

Read and treasure the Scriptures. Nothing compares to pondering God’s Word, learning more of Him, and putting into those words into our daily practice. The best place for His Word lies deep in our souls.

We may have many excuses for not reading, meditating, or memorizing, but we need God’s Word. Pray that God will help us store His Word in the best place possible – our hearts.

The best place for God’s Word is our hearts.
