Question of the Day: Why is it important to know God’s Word?
Read about It
Read: Psalm 119:11
There are many movies and books that tell exciting stories about the ocean, ships at sea, and pirates who search for priceless buried treasure. These stories tell about the great lengths that pirates would go to for valuable treasure. The stories tell how pirates would do everything in their power to guard it, protect it, and keep it when they find it.
God’s Word is a special treasure that He gives to us freely. We can guard ourselves from sin by treasuring and storing His Word in our heart and allowing it to change us into the person He wants us to be. When we hide God’s Word in our heart by reading and studying it, it becomes part of who we are. We can follow it by living and doing what it says.
