Practice makes perfect

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11


Pick an area of sin you are really struggling with. Whether it be your speech, your attitude, an addiction, jealousy, pride, selfishness, etc.

Did you pick it?

Good, now draw out the word of God that is stored within you and let it begin to take over that sin. Every time you are tempted with that particular sin, start speaking that passage out loud over and over until the temptation goes away. If you have to do it all day, DO IT ALL DAY.

At the end of the day look back and see how God's word kept you from sinning against Him and journal it or write it in your Bible.

Then pick a new one tomorrow and do the same thing. After a few weeks of doing it you will begin to really see what it means to hide the word of God in your heart plus you will see how it shines out of you at the same time.

God's word is really cool like that!

Lord Your word is just so powerful and totally awesome. Thank You for making it available to each and every one of us. Amen
