Memorizing God’s Word
I have been thinking a lot lately about memorizing scripture. I know I should do it regularly and yet I often fall short in follow-through in this discipline of the Christian walk. Jesus modeled to us the importance of memorizing God’s word as he used it to defeat temptation as he quoted scripture to Satan in the desert as he was tempted for 40 days.
I have used business-card sized sheets for memorizing in the past, and I carry them in my pocket and read them during down time (sometimes while driving too, although I can’t recommend this). I have also used a “top 10″ verses for the month before and had them taped to my computer screen. Heard of others who put them in a plastic sleeve in the shower and I may try this one out.
Here are some great Bible Memory Websites
- The Scripture Memory Connection
- Figure 8 Scripture Memory by Meditation System

Hey, good post. I surf the net looking for people who see the need and glory in memorizing the word of God. I run a blog site by the name of dwellingrich.wordpress.com. If you would ever like to be a guest blogger there, just drop me a line at cpearson@dwelling-rich.org.
