Mind to Heart

Psalm 119:10-11 says:
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.


I've started this blog to help myself dig deeper and think more critically about what God tells me through His Word. I want to meditate on what I read, and store it in my heart so that when the enemy tries to tempt me or I'm going through a wilderness season in my life I will be equipped and ready to stay true to God.

I used to think it was important to memorize scriptures and be able to spout them out whenever called on to do it. As I grew older I turned away from such a practice thinking it was just for kids in Sunday school or VBS to prove they were listening. But now, I realize that God wants me to keep His Word in my mind because then it will be in my heart also. So today I am working on storing up Psalm 119: 10-11.
