Memorizing Scripture

I am convinced, without a doubt, that the most important of all my disciplines is scripture memory. I say that not only because of all that it has done for me but because very few Christians have any systematic Bible memory plan in their life. The most important things are the things that the devil works hardest to keep out of our lives. Most don’t do the hard stuff that takes focus and self-discipline.

Let me challenge you to do a Bible study on meditating on scripture. Look up every reference on meditate/meditating and record all the benefits and blessings God promises that will come into your life. It is a fantastic list, and the most amazing thing is that those blessings don’t motivate many people to memorize the Word of God as a part of their Christian life. I believe that meditating on scripture and memorizing it is basically the same thing.

My goal is to spend 30 minutes every day working on memorizing new verses and reviewing old verses. A tool that I use that helps me a lot is the App “Bible Memory.” It is a fantastic tool that has increased the effectiveness of my time memorizing.

The app usually costs $9.99 for a lifetime; if that wasn’t enough of a bargain, they offered it for $5.00 for the next week. Go to https://biblememory.com/pro/freedom/ and spend $5.00 on the best thing you will ever buy for $5.00.

    I love that app. I do it every day. I never get impatient standing in line or stuck in traffic. I just get out my phone and start reviewing verses!! Thanks for telling us about it! I have over 1200 verses I review every month.

    I am preaching in two churches in about a month. My topic for both is Bible memorization, using Psalm 1 as my text. Since my kids and I went to the JBC seminar about 1.5 years ago, as a family we have memorized well over 50 verses. We normally learn a verse a week in a family verse memorization time. The hard part is review of past verses. A recent favorite is 1 Chronicles 29:12.
