Devotional: Hiding God’s Word




December 11, 2023

Hiding God's Word

Psalm 119:9, 11
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.     NIV


     The psalmist there asks a very practical question. Is it possible for a young person really to lead a pure life? And there are many schools of thought, many forms of psychology and sociology, that write that off as impossibility. They say it's natural in man to indulge his sexual life and indulge his fleshly desires and there's nothing to be done about it. But I want to tell you that that's not true.

     It is possible for a young person to lead a pure life and there's still a great reward for those who choose chastity and purity as a way of life. How is it possible? The psalmist answers his own question: By living according to God's Word.

     Then he goes on to say, "I have hidden God's word in my heart that I might not sin against God." That's the secret of purity. It's hiding God's Word in your heart, because one or other of two things is going to happen:

     Either God's Word will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from God's Word.

     So don't just flow with the current like a dead fish. Be willing to be a live fish and swim against the stream. God's Word will give you the strength if you hide it in your heart. It is possible to lead a pure life even in today's world.

Another free book: the Life of Christ

Plus, special deals on more resources about Jesus!

Another free book





L. C. Fillion's monumental The Life of Christ, another free book in December, is a thorough and methodical exposition of the God-man, Jesus Christ. This massive work is a historical, critical, and apologetic text.

As a history, Fillion's work places special emphasis on Christ's historical context and the culture and country he inhabited, and explores Jesus's personality. As criticism, Fillion's work uses textual and literary analysis to demonstrate the unmatched credibility of the Gospels. Lastly, as an apologetic, The Life of Christ confronts the nineteenth-century historical Jesus movement and the rationalism that assaulted the Christian faith.

This classic work, translated from the French by Newton Thompson, provides an insightful exposition of Christ's life and ministry fit for Catholic and Protestant alike.
