119:11 I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalms 119:11
What does it mean to have God's word laid up/hidden in our heart? Some versions translate the word 'laid up' as 'treasured.' That we value God's word above silver and gold. Above game-cubes and video games. Above iphones and tvrs. We value God's word above R-rated movies, so we don't spend out precious stewardship of money on filth that blasphemes God and defiles His saints (TV movies too). When we lay God's word up in our hearts, it's in there. We know it. We can recall it, and it effects our decisions, values and attitudes, that we may share in the divine nature, and escape from the corruption in the world (2 Peter 1:3-10).
Let us forsake the allurements and temptations of the world, that sin so attractively sells us. Let us lay up God's word in our hearts, so that our desires will be His desires, and the things we love he loves, and the things He despises, we despise, that when he appears, we may not have shame before Him at His coming.
