Memorizing Scripture

My excuse was because I had bad memory. With so much school stuff to memorize already, I really put no effort into memorizing scripture. I thought that all I needed to know was memorize the 'gist' of it and relate to it whenever I could. This approach was too impersonal to God.

He speaks to us with the Word. The Bible stands out and reaches man with its promises from God, yet it is so difficult to crack it open just once a day and meditate and reflect on what God has to say.

Memorizing scripture allows us to draw ourselves closer to God. To try and understand the truth that He has to present to us by meditating on it even after our Bible's are closed. To defend God whenever He 'needs' us to.

My favorite verse is Romans 8:38-39 :D

Amen.

I love this and it is a great thing to write about because it is definitely a discipline we take way too lightly. I know I personally have to more intentionally memorize scripture for many internal and external purposes. On that note, here's something to leave you to chew on; Psalm 119:11. :)
