Treasures

I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You. Psalms 119:11 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/psa.119.11.hcsb

Turning trash into treasures is done with spoken words. We can despise a person or thing or find a reason to be grateful, the choice is ours. We can be grateful for bad experiences as they teach us what we should not ever do or become.

I know it is easy to sit and moan about what you do not have, this makes you ungrateful and unlovely. However, if you find the gratitude you become gracious. A gracious person is a beautiful person, one you don't mind knowing.

Our hearts are where we store things. If we make gratitude our attitude then our hearts are full of grace. Yet, if we make moaning our groaning we fill our hearts with self-pity.

The Psalmist decided to fill his heart with God's word and it, therefore, challenged all else that tried to make his heart it's home.

Filling up on God's word, daily, is a benevolent practice. It can only bless us. Amen!
