TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 20TH FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 20th February 2025, Thursday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Armed Against Impurity
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
Psalm 119:11
RECOMMENDED READING: Psalm 37:30-31
Consider all the things you know by heart: your birth date, telephone number, social security number, home
address, and more. How is it that we have memorized those items without really trying? By repetition and by reciting them when we need to. We are protected from the dangers of confusion by being armed with this data.
Memorization is a powerful tool, a defensive tool. We can think of memorizing Scripture in the same way-as a defense against impurity and sin. The psalmist said that he hid God’s Word in his heart so that he might not sin
(Psalm 119:11).Think of how Jesus was protected against the temptation to sin in the wilderness when He quoted three verses from the book of Deuteronomy in response to the devil’s impure offers (Matthew 4:1-11).
There is no indication that Jesus had a scroll of Deuteronomy with Him; indications are that He had memorized
the verses that He quoted. Memorizing Scripture is a sure defense against sin.
The easiest way to begin Bible memorization is to start with a verse you are already familiar with. Review it daily
until you know it as well as your own phone number!
