Matthew Henry once said, "If we would have God's Word ready in our mouths when we have occasion for it, we must keep it in our hearts at all times."
From the Old Testament all throughout the New, we are given the keys to a closer walk. It's easy to talk about things and people we know in proper light and truth when we KNOW them!
"But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it." Deuteronomy 30:15
Therefore, this is a requirement if we desire to fulfill this instruction...
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15
Are we taking the necessary time to feat at the Lord's table? Are you ready to give answers to those who ask of the hope within you?
