My Thoughts
The more I read my Bible the more I understand this verse... and it is a very important verse. The more we know God's word...the more we know what God wants in our lives the more able we are to live a life that is pleasing to God... pleasing to others... good for us! Have you ever felt overwhelming guilt and not know why? I have!...I think that is because even when my heart doesn't know it, when my brain doesn't know it.. my soul knows when I have sinned...and my body reacts to my soul. The more we know God's word, when we hide God's word in our hearts we are aware of how we are suppose to act. When we are aware of what is good and what is evil... when the devil tempts us we have ammunition. Then we don't randomly sin and suffer the consequences for sins that we are just unaware of. Sin is sin even when we don't know it! Our souls react to evil... our souls react to good and our bodies react to our souls. When we know even if we mess up, we can ask forgiveness and get rid of the guilt... we can cleanse our souls. Our souls know even when our hearts are unaware. Our lives are much better when we hide God's word in our hearts because then we are able to nourish our souls with good. You have to know what is good to do what is good. God gives us the instructions, we just have to take the time to read them and hide them away so they are there, always there for us to use.
