Memorize Scripture


If you checked out any of the messages from last week's post, you came to a sermon on memorizing Scripture.

My question for you today is, do you memorize Scripture?

If you do, what practical steps do you take to make this a regular habit?

If you don't, why not?

Last year, my mom and I began holding each other accountable to a verse/passage every week.

As it turned out, we each picked our own verses out of whatever we happened to be studying in God's Word.

I wrote mine down in a notebook and then read it and said it often until I had it down. Every night, we'd listen to each other's verses and review some of the others we had previously worked on. Whenever I got a verse memorized, I would type it out from memory on a blog I started as another outlet for keeping my mind sharp.

As the year progressed, our habit decreased until it was finally non-existent.

I think we need to get back to it!
