“我把你的话藏在心里，免得我得罪你。”
诗篇 119:11
“I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11
In Psalm 119:11, we read how the power of hiding God’s words in our heart can keep us from sinning. It can strengthen us, teach us obedience, and direct our footsteps (vv. 28, 67, 133). This in turn gives us hope and understanding (vv. 49, 130).
Even when we begin to notice memory slips in ourselves or in the life of a loved one, God’s Word, memorized years earlier, is still there, “stored up” or “treasured” in the heart (v. 11 esv, nasb). Even as our minds lose the keen edge of youth, we know that God’s words, hidden in our hearts, will continue to speak to us.
Do we make the time and effort to know and keep His Word in our heart?
