from sinning. But, memorizing is a tool. It is a weapon the Holy Spirit can use as a means to keep us from sinning. I remember a young fellow by the name of George, a sailor, whom some of us were trying to help become a Christian. George had a very disconcerting habit: he talked in his sleep. But he not only talked in his sleep; he talked loudly and clearly. But even worse, George would curse and swear all night long. George was a hospital corpsman. One day a Christian Marine, who had been wounded, came into the hospital; and the Marine started George memorizing Scripture. As he memorized Scripture more and more, George still continued talk ing loudly and clearly in his sleep, but now he would quote verses at night instead of cursing and swear ing. Later, when he was discharged from the military, he stayed in my home. I came home at night on more than one occasion to hear him giving the Gospel in his sleep. "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." Have you been hiding any of His Word in your heart? Any of the great truths of the Bible? So that God can use them in your life any time, day or night?
