Bible Memorization

                 

Recently I've been feeling a need to memorize scripture. It seems as that when I'm tempted to sin, it is extremely hard to remember scripture that could help me say no to sin. I have memorized verses in the past but with memorization you kind of need to continue to memorize constantly "keep 'em in your thinker", to keep memorizing. The bible even says to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching" 2 Timothy 4:2. We can't be ready if we don't study and memorize!

So I'm going to start memorizing five verses a week. I'm writing down five and than reviewing them every night (and sometimes during the day) than when I have them memorized, I'll say them to my sister who will then sign her name, below the verse, saying I passed it.

Here is the first five verses:

James 1:1-5

James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: 
Greetings.

 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

You are welcome to try it with me :) 

I would love to hear about your memorization ideas and thoughts.

In His Love,

Karis

God's Creativity #1 "fish in the sea"

I was watching a program last night about sharks and rays with some of my siblings and they told a little about this remarkable animal. It made me think about how awesome God is in his creativity, how unique his designs are. I decided to do a series on my blog about God's creativity in nature. "Fish in the sea" is the first one.


Look at this amazing creature! 

As an adult it can weigh roughly around 2,200 lbs! It's large fins are perfect to propel it through the vast waters. Look at it's wonderful design, God truly is the master creator! :)




How about this one? 



One of the largest and it feeds on the smallest; plankton.




Look at the colors!



I think that the blue jellyfish is so prettyfull :D Lol. My brother thinks it looks like a mushroom off of the mario game. 
But once again it shows God's wonderful design! :)
