Hide It in My Heart
I've been working on memorizing the books of the Bible and scripture verses. Honestly, it all began when I read an article about dementia and how memorizing helps stave off memory loss. The article also said playing games and doing puzzles helps as well. I didn't want to add any more trivial pursuits into my life, so it seemed a good time to buckle down and memorize the Word of God.
I have a friend, Bobbie, who is able to interject scripture at just the appropriate time into conversations and it's so edifying. I've been studying for a week and have three scriptures and 15 books memorized. At first I didn't think it was going to work, as I don't have much of a mind for memorizing, but today seemed to be a break-through day and God showed me it can be done and it's fun.
God confirmed my new endeavor while reading Our Daily Bread for June 18, 2012:
The Word of God is "living and powerful" (Heb. 4:12). Hide its precious words away "in [your] heart" (Ps. 119:11) where they will always be with you. --Cindy Hess Kasper www.rbc.org
