Text : Psalms 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
When you hide His words in your heart, He will hide you under the shadow of His wings.
When you fail to hide His words in your heart, you will freely sin against Him. Hiding God's words in your heart doesn't come naturally, you have to intentionally work towards it.
The first step to hiding God's word in your heart is to read it daily. *Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.* (Revelation 1:3). You can't keep what you don't have. To keep God's word, you must first of all become a reader of the word.
Secondly, you are to meditate on what you have read. _This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but *thou shalt meditate therein day and night,* that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success._ Joshua 1:8).
There are no two ways to it. You must have a set out time to read the word, and painstakingly meditate on it. You must keep ruminating over the word you have read all through the day and even into the night.
Lastly, you must observe to do all that you have been commanded to do in the word. You must be careful to carry out everything that’s written in it.
Once these three steps are carried out, you will receive strength from on High to live above sin, and then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.
From the abundance of God's word that Joseph had hid in his heart, he was able to say no to Potiphar's wife advances, and at the end, he was launched into great manifestation.(Genessis 38: 7-9).
By reason of God's words that David had hid in his heart, he had enough fear of God in him not to lay his hands against the Lord's anointed. (1 Samuel 24:6.
For you to prosper in God's kingdom, you must learn how to hide His words in your heart. When you hide His words in your heart, you will be hidden from sin and you will always be hidden in His love and peace.
