Hidden Treasure

I heard a verse in one of the Psalms recited tonight. It hit me hard.

Psalm 119:11 - I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

It is so important for believers in Jesus Christ to know what His word says. Not just to protect ourselves from false teachers or to learn sound doctrine, not only so that we can teach His word and disciple others. It is important because it teaches us who God is. It teaches us who our Savior is. It will help us to honor and submit to the One in whom we claim to believe and to worship.

The bible teaches us how to obey our Father. More than that, it teaches us the depths of His love for us. It renews our minds and refreshes our hearts.

It gives the Holy Spirit something to mold us with. It gives us a way to encourage and love one another, just as our wise Father told us to.

God is AWESOME!
