We believe memorizing scripture is one of the best ways to carry the Word of our God with us wherever we go—to have God-breathed truth, instruction and reproof in our hearts and minds as we live unto Him each day.
This week we are committing to memory a reminder of the hospitality Christ shows to us and we, in turn, are called to show to others:
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
– Matthew 25:35
Write this verse down – copy it twenty times if that helps! Save the image below to your phone’s lock screen so you can read these words throughout the day. We want to be a community that is intentional about scripture memorization. Will you join us?
I’ve learned a good way to memorize. Write the verse down and read it 7 times a day for a month, then once a week, then once a month. Seems like overload but I know my brain is often in overload and this is a practical way of letting the verse overshadow all of the other things that often take up residence in my head!
Maybe this can help someone, but the way I memorized a whole book in the Bible was by saying it every time I got in the car, which is about 4 times a day. I think our brains are more capable with memorization than we give them credit for. Good luck girls!
I’ve only ever memorized one scripture in my entire life and hopefully after committing to this one I can say I’ve memorized two.
