DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the significance of hiding God's word in our
hearts as a protective measure against evil lusts. He illustrates how
David treasures the law of God, using it as both a safeguard against sin
and a defense against Satan's temptations. By keeping the law close,
believers can navigate life's challenges and remain steadfast in their
faith. This internalization of scripture serves as the best armor,
ensuring that one does not transgress against God's commands.

"Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not

sin against You." Psalm 119:11

David hides the word in his heart as a treasure--that

he might not lose it; and as a rule--that he might not

transgress against it. The law of God kept close in the

heart is the best armor against evil lusts. David

locks up the law of God in his heart, as in a chest or

cabinet--to secure him against Satan's ambushes and

assaults on the one hand, and to preserve him from

sin on the other hand.
