God’s Good Treasure
Psalms 119:11Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against You.(NKJV)
I was asked recently “What is the greatest deterrent against sin?” Along with knowing Christ as our personal Savior, we need to build more of Christ into our lives daily. This can be done through Bible Study, devotional reading, prayer, quiet times alone reflecting on the greatness of God, singing hymns and praise songs, just to name a few. God wants a relationship with us as His children. The choir leader says in this verse,” Your Word I have hidden in my heart.” By dwelling on God’s Word and its application to our lives, and truly seeking His will, our desire will be to not sin against Him.
Understanding God’s great passion for us along with daily application of His Word to our lives will always draw us closer to Him, which also pushes us further from sin. Our desire changes as we draw near to our most holy God.
God’s Word is a great treasure that He does not hide from us but is always ready to reveal its greatest riches.
Seek Him today!
Prayer:Dear Lord Jesus, guide me into the great resources You have placed in my heart to seek you. Draw me nearer to You every time I open Your Word that I might not sin against You. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!
