S – I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Psalms 119:11 NIV
O – Commentary:
“word”. The Hebrew word used here, imrah, is one of the eight terms for Yahweh’s directions in Psa 119. It often describes a pledge or promise, and can also refer to a word that should be obeyed (see vv. 67, 133, 158). The psalmist portrays himself as having internalized Yahweh’s directions at a deep level, which results in a consuming loyalty that envelops his will and his emotions
A –We must know and apply God’s word in our lives. It gives us the “plumbline” for us to live. When we do this, we are empowered not to sin because of knowledge and a heart aligned with God.
R – Heavenly Father, you are the one, true God. Thank you for your word that gives us direction on how to live and build our relationship with you. Help us to apply it to our lives. Give us a hunger to know your word intimately.
