Sometimes we are guilty of not tending our bodies and hearts the way they should be. These “untended places” can become grounds for wrong thinking, poor attitudes, and sin-creating problems. The wise trail recognizes our need to tend our hearts by staying in God’s Word and embracing its truths. In Psalm 119:11, the psalmist recognized the danger of not building our lives on the Holy Word. He said, “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.“ Focusing on the Holy Scriptures allows us to build healthy spiritual lives and avoid the dangers that inevitably grow in untended places. Let us allow God’s Words to be our source for daily strength, encouragement, comfort, hope, guidance, and the eternal love of God. To grow spiritually, we must read the Word! –Psalm 119:11
