I have found memorizing a chapter of scripture is easier for me than random verses. It’s not the words that get lost in my mind, but the address of where they come from! It must be my dislexia raising it’s head. When I commit a chapter to memory, there’s a whole chunk of verses that flow together with an over-all meaning or theme. I don’t have to worry about the exact verse number.<\/p>\n

Years ago when my husband was in law school I took up regular scripture memory work. The church we went to stressed it. As the pastor encouraged, I took an ENTIRE year for one chapter and it really stuck! For several years I kept this up and those chapters are forever in my heart. I am finding out (with\u00a0some brushing up)\u00a0I can recall them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Try it and see. Pick a chapter like Psalm 139 or 91 and take this year to commit it to memory. Write each verse out on a note card and keep the one your working on with you. It’s a WHOLE year, so you can divide the verses up by the months. \u00a0I promise You will never regret hiding God’s word in your heart.<\/p>\n

I wish so much I had not stopped memorizing each year of my life. How wonderful it would be to know 20 plus chapters by now. According to my New Year’s resolution I’m trying to focus on: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Philippians 3:13<\/p>\n
