Proverbs 4: 20-22: "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." We are admonished to keep God's Word in our hearts. The “heart” commonly refers to the mind as the center of thinking and reason, but also includes the emotions, the will, and thus, the whole inner being. The heart is the depository of all wisdom and the source of whatever affects speech, sight, and conduct. The psalmist said this about the Word: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee”. God’s words are the words of life. It has been said of the writings of a great man of the past that if his words were cut, they would bleed. This can truly be said of the words of God. They are living words—if you cut them, they will bleed. “For they are life unto those that find them.” They will bring life and light to you. They bring instruction and direction and joy. All this comes through the Word of God. God's Word is alive and It will meet your every need. Treasure God's Word. Hide in your heart by memorizing it, repeating it often, studying it and writing down your observations. They will be life to you.
