"I have hidden Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You."
Psalm 119:11
This morning I was spending time with the Lord and decided I was going to start memorizing the Bible. With the goal being to memorize the Word by the end of 2014 - in 1 year and 1 month.
I realize this is impossible for a girl who struggles reading, has never been able to memorize scripture, and has very little time working from 8am - 8pm most days...lol but I LOVE opportunities to lean entirely on God.
So HERE WE GO! Another challenge... I'm praying and believing that I will commit to this one entirely.
My Reason
There are a ton of benefits to memorizing scripture. I can go into those in a later post, but I do believe that is one thing we should all strive to do. However, honestly I chose to do this now because I was getting kind of bored with just reading the Word. It is natural to get bored when you are doing the same thing every day. So, we had to mix it up a bit. Keep our love life interesting :) haha! I love Jesus!
My Method
I looked up how other people memorize the Bible and have talked with people about their methods for memorizing scripture. (I will write another post explaining why I chose these methods, but for now...)
This is what I am doing to memorize scripture:
1. Reading the Word out loud several times (meditating on it and praying for revelation)
2. Reading the Word while speaking in tongues several times
3. Reciting the Word with my eyes closed
4. Reciting the Word with my eyes open
5. Reading the Word again speaking in tongues
Review Twice Daily
