Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
Several times each day precious, golden moments should be consecrated to prayer and the study of the Scriptures, if it is only to commit a text to memory, that spiritual life may exist in the soul. God’s precious Word is the standard for youth who would be loyal to the King of heaven. Let them study the Scriptures. Let them commit text after text to memory and acquire a knowledge of what the Lord has said.
Build a wall of scriptures around you, and you will see that the world cannot break it down. Commit the Scriptures to memory, and then throw right back upon Satan when he comes with his temptations, ‘It is written.’ This is the way that our Lord met the temptations of Satan, and resisted them.
Hang in memory’s hall the precious words of Christ. They are to be valued far above silver or gold. Keep a pocket Bible with you as you work, and improve every opportunity to commit to memory its precious promises. The time will come when many will be deprived of the written Word. But if this Word is printed in the memory, no one can take it from us. Study the Word of God. Commit its precious promises to memory so that, when we shall be deprived of our Bibles, we may still be in possession of the Word of God.
