The word ‘keep’ in Hebrews means to observe, heed, and guard. Joshua 1:8 says to observe to do. James 1:22-25 encourages us to be hearers and doers. I checked Psalm 119 to see how many times ‘to keep’ His word was used. 21. Seven is the number of completion times three.

Psalm 119:4 says, “You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.” All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God according to 2 Timothy 3:16 ~ God-breathed truths. It is only as we observe to do that His truth becomes our experience.

Proverbs 4:23 says to keep our heart with all diligence. Our ‘keeping’ is only successful when we hide His word in our heart and put it into practice. Experiential truth inculcates throughout our thought processes. 1 John 2:6 says, “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” Living word inside affects the outside.
