Hide the Word in Your Heart

Scripture memorization is good, but takes discipline. Here are some reasons to memorize and some tools to help you.

Reasons:

-Not sin against God (Psalm 119:11)
-To meditate on God's word (Psalm 119:148)
-So we don't let things of God slip (Hebrews 2:1)
-So OUR steps don't slip (Psalm 37:31)
-So we will delight to do God's will (Psalm 40:8)
-To help keep our mind on God which gives perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3)


Psalm 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalm 119:148  Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 

Heb 2:1  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Psalm 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip (NASB)

Psalm 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart. (NASB)

Isaiah 26:3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee
