Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-25

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

Learning and growing in knowledge of the word of God is foundational to our maturity as a believer.

There is NO substitute for this.

There are no shortcuts.

We must make the conscious choice to learn His word.

There are untold numbers of verses and examples found in His word, written by multiple authors, who reinforce this truth.

David, Paul, and Solomon are just a few.

Even Jesus confirmed this when He stated that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

David stated this:

Psalm 119:9 (LSB) 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.

David got it. He understood that knowing God’s word is where everything else starts.

We each start with (have been given) a measure (seed) of faith, as stated in Romans 12:3.

All seeds require nourishment to grow. Without it, they quickly spring up and then wither and die.

God’s word is that nourishment. It feeds our spirit. It strengthens the building blocks that are the foundation of our faith, making it impenetrable by the enemy and his tactics.

When God’s word is hidden (treasured) in our heart, we have an ever present, always-vigilant defense mechanism always at the ready.

It is up to us to use that defense mechanism.

It is up to us to feed it.

And it is up to us to be sure it gets strengthened regularly, that it does not fail or falter due to impotence and malnutrition.
