It's not just for 6-year-olds anymore...
So I've decided that Scripture memory rocks. I know most of us (or at least me) think of Scripture memory as something you do at church camp or in youth group to get cookies (or other random, sugar-packed prizes). Actually I think Spenser won a laptop once. But anyway, being able to have Scripture in my head, and hopefully eventually in my heart, is priceless to me. If I'm dealing with something and can recall a relevant passage of Scripture, the Lord can use that to strengthen me and help me out of a given situation. Like in Thessalonians when He says He won't put anything on you that you can't get out of with His help. Hiding His word in my heart is part of that. So I've memorized a few longer passages, but I'm back in the groove, if you will. I'm going to memorize Romans 8 next, I think. Anyone with me?...

I agree. I feel good in my heart when I remember a Bible verse.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. I think that's what God had in mind the whole time. Living it and breathing it.
ReplyDeleteHey Jami! (That's an adorable profile pic, btw.)
ReplyDeleteI memorized one of my favorite Bible passages a couple of years ago, and since then, it's been amazing how much I've used it and how it's come to mean so much more to me than it did ...
