I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. – Psalm 119:10-11
This Psalm, which is believed to be one of David’s due to its tone and expression, is the longest one in the Psalter at 176 verses. Throughout it is chock full of wonderful insights and helpful directives. Here we find evidence, according to one who would know, regarding how to not sin against God. Seek Him with all your heart and hide His word deep within so that you might truly know what is right and honorable and pleasing to the Lord. You cannot hope to know God without keen insight as revealed by the Holy Spirit. The only place to find such insight is within the pages of God’s inspired Word. Knowing God is born out of faith. Believe in God, believe in His word. Then read it to know the mind of God as much as your finite mind can fathom. Not knowing His word makes life so much more difficult than it needs to be. Until next time…walk with the King and be a blessing!
