Memorize It
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11
In Psalm 119:11, we find a profound truth, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” This verse isn’t just a call to read the Bible; it’s an invitation to internalize it, to make it a part of our very being. Memorizing Scripture is a vital practice for the Believer, not because it is a task to check off, but because it transforms us from the inside out.
Today consider this prompt and ask yourself: What is the most recent Bible verse I’ve learned by heart? If it’s been awhile, consider the season of life you are in and start there. Is there a verse that speaks to you most in this season?
Studying the Word of God is important, but so is Scripture memorization. If we know verses by heart, God will bring them to mind at times of service, fatigue, anxiety, fear, temptation, or testing. The Lord gives us all we need through His Word, and we must hide it in our hearts.
