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,
