Psalms 119:11 “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”
In the day of trouble, we might not always have time to pull out our Bibles or search through our Bible app to find a specific scripture dealing with the situation we’re facing.
That’s why it’s so important to study the Word of God and have it hidden in our hearts or stored in our memory. We need to know that if we lose our jobs, it doesn’t matter because God is our provider according to Deuteronomy 2:7. We need to believe when we get a negative report from our doctors that in spite of their report, we are healed according to Isaiah 53:4-5. We need to believe no matter how far our children appeared to have strayed from the plan of God, our children will eventually be delivered according to Proverbs 11:27.
Get in the Word of God, find out what belongs to you, and store it in your heart.
Psalms 119:37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.
The television and internet are full of worthless things. Those things are designed to appeal to our flesh. Worthless things simply mean things that have no value.
Our souls are composed of our mind, will, imagination, emotion, and intellect. When we look at dramatic, lustful, or chaotic things, we’re putting worthless things into our souls. So, instead of knowing scripture that will help us in our day of adversity, we know who did what to who and instead of having compassion for a group of individuals we saw in need on TV, we know which celebrity cheated on their spouse.
This is not to bring condemnation on anyone regarding the shows they’re watching or what’s being researched. This is an opportunity for us to reevaluate what we’re putting into our souls and determine if it’s beneficial to our lives, the lives of others, or the Kingdom of God.
