In my own personal quiet time, and with the bible study I’m doing with mom I’ve been trying to memorize scripture each week. Sadly, this is not something I was doing at home because I’m lazy. Point blank, that is the simple of it. I’m working on verse number 6 right now and it has been amazing. I wish I had been doing this for years. I feel great when I think about the verses. Already, there have been times when God has put these on my mind when I’ve been in a foul mood, or am feeling sad and pitiful. I wanted to share the first 5 with you as an encouragement, and suggest if you are NOT memorizing scripture weekly to maybe look at these and try them!
Psalm 19:14 – Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight Oh Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Proverbs 3:3 – Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you. Bind them around your neck, and write them on the tablet of your heart.
2 Corinthians 10:5 – We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.
James 3:17 – But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy, and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Matthew 26:41 – Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. For indeed the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
