The heart is that private place where inner secrets are stored, and personal treasures are carefully hidden from the stare of all but our nearest and dearest. But no companion is so cherished and no individual so dependable, as the precious Saviour of our soul, Jesus Christ, Who loves us with an everlasting love and gave His life so that we might live.
The heart is that extensive personal chamber of our innermost mind. It is the place in which to store the Word of God. It is our heavenly treasure, through time and into eternity, where moth and rust will not spoil and thieves can never break in to steal it. Nothing is of greater importance, nothing has more dynamic power, and nothing compares with the eternal value of hiding God's Word in our hearts, meditating, ruminating and memorising its content.
Man may try to manipulate the mind and control the thought, but nothing can prevent the child of God communing in his heart with his Heavenly Lord, for such communion remains impenetrable to the last breath of our mortal life. Degenerative diseases might give witness to a vacant look or lack of recognition - but NOTHING can separate us from the love of God and NO-ONE has the power to sever our fellowship with our Heavenly Lord.
There is no more beneficial activity than reflecting, pondering and contemplating the Word of God, which is nourishment for the soul, rest for the weary, peace for the troubled, comfort for the afflicted, and instruction for the man of God. To do so will enable us to resist the accusations and taunts of the enemy, deter us from going astray, protect us from the ravages of sin, guide us into all truth and instruct us in righteous living.
