Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” What are thoughts that weaken? Negative dialogue is destructive. It is like plaque to the lining of our spiritual heart veins. It causes us to be jaded, hardened and callous.

Hebrews 3:12-13 is very descriptive. It says, “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily…lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”

James 1:22 says, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves.” That is what I cherish about Psalm 119. It is all about God’s word. Psalm 119:140 says, “Your word is very pure, therefore Your servant loves it.” Do you love God’s word? Challenging question.

Hiding His word in our heart radically affects our thoughts. It strengthens our faith by feeding our spirit man. It takes our roots deep into the soil of intimate communion with the Lord. We abide in the Vine that bears fruit for His glory. John 15:1-8.
