Gods’ Word is so important, it it how we learn what He likes and dislikes. I’ve been married 30 years, my wife’s favorite color is yellow and her favorite food is shrimp. I know this because we spent time together.
I got to know her by understanding her likes and dislikes.

God has given us the Bible to know what pleases or displeases Him. In the Old Testament, the Hebrews world were tablets of the first 5 books of the Bible on their heads, to keep them mindful of what God had done for them.

Ps. 119:11 talks about hiding His Word in your heart that you might not sin against Him. Knowing the word by memory is such a good way to keep us on the right path. We need to eat the Word and meditate on it.

I want to ask a personal question, how much of His Word do you store in your heart A lot of our temptations would not have such hold on us, if we kept His Word close to us! Hide His Word in your heart, not just your mind and I can promise a break through.

The way I make a scripture mine, I mediate on it until I fully understand it and then meditate some more. When I have finally got it, I have memorized it without trying.

Lord help us to learn how we can make Your Word ours’. For it’s in your Word we find life! Amen!!"
