Psalm 119 Vs 9-16

God's Word is a great delight to the believer; obedience to that Word brings great joy and peace. In Psalm 119 Vs 9-16, he Psalmist ponders the wrestling with sin that all believers face. What can we do about our sin? How can we keep our way pure?

We are not saved by our own works, but we are called to Work out our salvation in fear and trembling. How do we do that? First, we seek God with all our heart; and second, we hide God's Word in our heart. If you're like me, it is not easy to memorize portions of the Bible; however, it is true that the closer we are to the Lord and the more time we spend in the Word, the more likely it will be that we will not sin against God.

Spend time in the Word; read it every day. If you are able to, memorize verses or portions of the Word. Man may remove the Bible from us, but whatever we have hidden in our heart will always be there. We live in an age where it is so easy to forget God; most people around us do not even believe in God.

As reminded in Psalm 119 Vs 9-16, pray that God will help you to remain faithful to His Word through regular reading of the Bible and Scripture memorization.
