Wow! Well done. Thats such a lot of scripture memorisation. And you've done that in less than a year! Fantastic! Stay blessed.

Hooray!

Thank you both. I thank the Lord for what He is doing in me through His Word.

😊

amen

Symota, you said you thank Him for what He is doing through His Word. Care to share any of that?

Hi FinalAsgard: Increased peace and joy are two of the noticeable changes that God has been working in my life since I started memorizing Scripture this year. I give Him all the thanks for enabling me to memorize His Word and it’s wonderful to have a verse to think about throughout the day. I’ve also noticed that I’ve been more conscientious to talk about Christ to others.
Would anyone else like to share their thoughts on how memorizing Scripture has helped them?

That's awesome!

For me... Giving me something to focus on while I do boring tasks (dishes, laundry, driving) has really been a blessing, helping me to stay focused on God and allowing me to meditate on his word day and night. I'm also learning so much more about several of these passages because I meditate on them throughout the day than I would normally get if I just read them and moved on.

I just love the precious thoughts of Christ I have as I learn the verses. I’m always so amazed that I don’t spend more time here because I get such comfort and peace as I learn verses. The one that really hit me last night was in Rev 5 where it says that the elders which sit around the throne of God have golden bowls of odours which are the prayers of saints. The thought that my prayers are like a sweet odour that is offered to God. Wow I’m just bowled over by that. So why don’t I pray more?? I’m so easily distracted by the cares of this life.

For me, it’s a good way to start the day. I make a pot of tea, and I learn/review my scripture passages, and I connect with God before I look at any emails / messages etc or start thinking about work. This habit usually helps set a good tone for the day.

Thank you, for all of you who have shared about how memorizing God’s Word is impacting your life. Thank you for blessing and encouraging us. Our God and Saviour is gracious. We give Him praise for what He’s doing in and through us.
