What is God’s word? God’s word is His law, God’s commandment and God’s will. God’s law is built into the universal, for we can’t fight with that; example law of gravity. You can’t walk out of your 10th floor bedroom window and hope to be safe, you can’t eat whatever you want and hope to be on the healthy side with the law of health. If one fights with the law of God then there will be weakness and defeat because one fights against God’s will. Only when we study God’s word we have power and progress. When God first wrote His word it was on stone, but no longer now - it’s in your heart. That’s why twice the writer of Proverb says, “.... let your heart keep my commandments (v1).... write them on the tablet of your heart (v3).” The apostle Paul said the same thing in 2Cor 3-3, “And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? (He finishes off by saying)..... Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:9-11(KJV). Campbell Morgan says, the best book, “thy word”, in the best place, “hid in mine heart” the best purpose, “that I might not sin against thee.” When we say, to study God’s Word, we are not talking about someone who is a Bible student, and nothing’s wrong in going for Bible school but about a devoted person who take it and write it in his or her hearts. Learn God’s word, “for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you (V2).” This doesn’t mean calendar years because wicked people live longer life and length of days and godly people like Robert M’cheyne died at the age of 29 and David Brainerd died at the age of 30. Both men’s works are still being use by so many Christians. The apostle Paul said that godly lives is profitable for this lives and that which to come. What Paul is saying, let’s study the word of God and let God’s word controls your mind and fills you.
