Notes on this verse:

Not only heard and read it, but received it into his affections. Mixed it with faith, laid it up in his mind and memory for future use. Preserved it in his heart as a choice treasure, where it might dwell richly, and be of service to him on many occasions. And particularly be of the following use:

“That I might not sin against thee”: The word of God is a most powerful antidote against sin, when it has a place in the heart. Not only the precepts of it forbid sin, but the promises of it influence and engage to purity of heart and life, and to the perfecting of holiness in the fear of the Lord. And all the doctrines of grace in it effectually teach the saints to deny all sin and worldly lusts, and to live a holy life and conversation (see 2 Cor. 7:1).

I look around me today and sin is on every side. It seems that the world has gone mad. Even many professing Christians are involved in a sinful life style. The problem with all of these people, is that they do not even know right from wrong. They have not hidden the Word (Bible), away in their heart. They do not even know what sin is. The Bible is our road-map through life. Those who do not carefully read the map, get lost. Some are so sure they do not need help, that they do not see the need for the Bible. How wrong they are. The secret to life is in God’s Holy Word (Bible). The determination of our hearts is to hide the Word of God so deeply in our heart that there will be no room for anything else. We will be so full of His Word that there will be no place for sinful desires. Sin originates in the heart. If the heart is full of God, you will not desire to sin.
