Psalm 119:11 - When Temptation Calls.

Psalm 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in 
mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Im amazed sometimes at all the things 
we fill our minds with. For instance, some 
people know the names of every character in the 
Star Wars films along with all the plot twists. 
Others seem to know the scores of every 
professional baseball game that has been played in the 
last four decades. 
   As for me, I have in my memory banks the 
lyrics to songs Ive heard years ago, including 
the theme song to The Flintstones. I dont 
know when I consciously learned them, but I know 
them. 
   We have all kinds of data floating around 
in our minds, but do we know the Word of God? 
Do we know what verses deal with specific 
subjects and what the Bible says about certain 
topics? 
   In our own strength, we dont have the 
power to resist temptation. Thats why we need 
to take time to memorize the Word of God. 
   When Jesus had been fasting for 40 days 
and nights in the wilderness, the devil came to 
Him and said, If You are the Son of God, 
command that these stones become bread (Matthew 
4:3 NKJV). 
   Yes, Jesus had the power to do that. No 
doubt He was hungry - hungry to the point of 
starvation, even. 
   But with His response, Jesus gave us an 
example to follow. He showed us how to deal with 
temptation. And He stood on ground that we, too, can 
stand on. 
   Jesus said, It is written, Man 
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word 
that proceeds from the mouth of God (verse 
4 NKJV). 
   He fought temptation with the Word of God.
   Its good to carry a Bible, of course, 
but the best place to carry the Word of God is 
in your heart. Memorize it so you can draw upon 
it when temptation comes knocking at your door. 
And indeed, temptation will come. [Greg Laurie
