Store Up God's Word



“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Ps. 119:11, ESV

Merriam Webster definition for stored: lay away; accumulate; to stack against a future time, to place or leave in a location for preservation or later use…a source from which things may be drawn as needed; a reserve fund; an abundance.

Stick some of that definition in the verse above and it might look like this: I have stocked up, accumulated, reserved an abundance of your word in my heart in order that I may draw from it as needed so that I won’t sin against you.

I’m thinking God wants His Word to be the spiritual weapon I use to nail my sinful nature to the cross.
