Hide the Word In Your Heart #62

Donald Whitney & Tim Challies said, “The Word of the Word is the “Sword of the Spirit,” but if there is no Bible physically accessible to you, then the weapon of the Word must be present in the armory of your mind in order for the Spirit to wield it. Imagine yourself in the midst of a decision and needing guidance, or struggling with a difficult temptation and needing victory. The Holy Spirit enters your mental arsenal and looks around for available weapons, but all He finds is a John 3:16, and Genesis 1:1, and a Great Commission. Those are great swords, but they’re not made for every battle. The only solution is to commit to memorizing the Word of God. For God’s sake, as an expression of your desire to be used by Him, fill up that arsenal.”

Psalm 94:12-13 says:
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
