Day 14

Weekly Truth

from the This Is the Old Testament reading plan


Acts 13:17-23

BY She Reads Truth

Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go. 

As we survey the Old Testament, we’re memorizing Acts 13:17–23. This week, we’ll work on verses 18 and 19. To help you commit these verses to memory, write them out three times on a piece of paper or note card. 

17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, made the people prosper during their stay in the land of Egypt, and led them out of it with a mighty arm. 18 And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness; 19 and after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 This all took about 450 years. After this, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 After removing him, he raised up David as their king and testified about him, “I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my will.”

23 From this man’s descendants, as he promised, God brought to Israel the Savior, Jesus.
—Acts 13:17–23

    So, I have ADHD and memorizing anything is nearly impossible for me. Well, kinda. See, my short term memory is like, non existent.. but my long term memory is extremely strong && accurate. In this kind of situation, all I can really do is try my hardest to input the information && hope/pray that it sticks. lol

    Regardless, thank you so much for all you’ve done and made available to us for free. My appreciation is unfathomable. Stay blessed.

    I was awake in the night and Listened to the podcast episode 35 on Psalm 119 from last summer. The memorization tips shared there were super helpful! Thanks!!
