Meditate on God’s word. Don’t just recite it, but prayerfully, slowly, dwell on the words. Think through them and what they mean, and pray that God will speak to you through them.

Your time of memorizing and your time of meditating on God’s word are not the same time. One is academic, that we do repeatedly with a goal in mind, to memorize the words. The other comes after we have them memorized, and is more thoughtful and slow and intentional.

I hope that helps.

I agree with MarkAnthony and with JDJDJD, and just want to say treeswallow, just keep pressing on. Taking the time to pray before reviewing your verses is important. Perhaps making it a point to go slower and to lower the number of verses you review. But mainly I want to say, to just keep pressing on. Emotions change all the time, but the word of God does not change. Psalm 1 talks about how the person who meditates on the Lord will be like a tree planted by streams of water. It yields its fruit in its season. Fruit doesn't come instantly :) It comes in its season. So my advice for myself, 'cause I need it too!! and for you is to keep on and wait patiently for that fruit to grow.

The fact the question was posed, and that you still have that desire for that deeper meaning tells me that the Holy Spirit is still striving with you. The fact that there's a struggle or even discouragement, tells me the enemy sees what's going on, and he's trying to force a disconnect.

One thing I've learned regarding the Bible lately is that it will speak for itself if you allow it, going line upon line, and precept upon precept. You have this one book, yet different groups around the globe believing different things shows the impact of man's interpretation. But if you allow it speak for itself, it can blow you away.

Jeremiah 29:13 simply says if we search for God with all our hearts, with everything we have, we WILL find Him. The enemy wants to stop this. But it's not his choice, it's ours. He can't have my choice.

So I'd just like to encourage you to press on. When we make the right choice, we'll end up with fruits of the Spirit. We're all in this together. 😀

That’s something I struggle with too. I think praying for the Lord to help you with that is the answer. I have just been asking the Lord to use these scriptures to speak to my heart. I know the Lord will answer me and I always regret not asking earlier, and more often.

Hi all! I have a question, and I thought this would be a good place to ask it. I'm sure this question has been answered many times.

Any tips on how to get verses from your head to your heart? I'm really having a hard time, I know the Scriptures, but they don't seem to be hitting me as hard as they once did. I need them to move that incredibly long 18 inches from my brain to my soul. I'm starting to get discouraged... Any advice?

Thank you, JDJDJD!

FinalAsgard 2023-04-28 03:08

Nope! All messages from (almost) all groups show up in the news feed.

MarkAnthony 2023-04-27 22:33

Sounds great. Question: If I'm in another group simultaneously, does that mean the news feed in the first group changes in terms of what they are seeing?

JDJDJD 2023-04-27 21:49

You should have your invitation to join now. Sorry I've only just seen your message. Congrats on the 2 million!

HomeSchoolMama 2023-04-27 11:57

congratulations on 2 million, HomeSchoolMama!

treeswallow 2023-04-19 19:10

Great work! Keeping God's Word in my heart and mind (and in front of my face) throughout the day has really helped me too!

HomeSchoolMama 2023-04-19 17:58

Surprisingly, I reached 2,000,000 points today!! 🎉🥳 I am so thankful for this site to help me memorize and review scripture. The constant review helps so much!

Thank y'all!

JDJDJD 2023-04-16 22:21

Mikejody. To answer your question I have a much deeper confidence in God’s goodness and in His sovereignty.

JDJDJD 2023-04-16 22:20

Secundus and treeswallow, you should both soon get invitations to join. I need to be on my computer to do it. Currently on my iPad. Sorry for the delay. Anyone else waiting for an invite? Congrats on all that scripture learning. 💕

Secundus 2023-04-16 19:30

Hello FinalAsgard :) Actually, I do have 2 million points. treeswallow has more than 3 million. Not complaining, just asking.

treeswallow 2023-04-15 20:41

Nobody invited me! 🙂

FinalAsgard 2023-04-15 15:42

Secundus, you need to get 2,000,000 points on this site first, then you will be invited in. :)

Secundus 2023-04-15 05:25

hello. could i join?

janet23 2023-03-08 03:29

mikejody Learning the Scripture has increased my trust and confidence in Almighty God. I have far less anxiety.

mikejody 2023-03-08 02:45

Those of you in the multi-millionaire's club have memorized lots of Scripture; does anyone want to share how it has affected their lives? Is there anything different now than before you began?

Cali2022 2023-03-07 23:46

Cool!

Welcome 👋 Glad you could join us. 😊

JDJDJD 2023-01-01 21:55

Thank you Peter. I’ll look those up. And Secundus I’m glad the what I shared was a help to you. I pray your health problems improve but more importantly that you find Good Shepherd in the Valley.

Secundus 2022-12-26 13:19

thank you PeterP

PeterP 2022-12-26 07:21

I’m half way through listening to a preaching series by Rick Warren on Psalm 23, which has two sessions on ‘God in the Valleys’.
The recordings are here https://saddleback.com/watch/living-in-the-goodness-of-god

Secundus 2022-12-26 03:43

Hello JDJDJD
I read your comment of 15 November

"I’m calling this stage of my life’s journey “In the valley”. Psalm 23 is so precious and the certain assurance that the Good Shepherd is with me every step of the way through the valley."

I found those words to be comforting this morning, because I'm experiencing some persistent health problems. Thank you for sharing those words which helped me to put my focus on our Good Shepherd. "In the valley" is also a phrase I will remember.

May God and His presence, comfort, and healing continue to be very present with you.

Merry Christmas to all!

DogLover 2022-12-25 23:49

Thanks!

JDJDJD 2022-12-25 22:48

DogLover I have only just seen your question. You can only invite people to a closed group I think. You click on “Edit this group” and then the list of invited people comes up and you type in the name of the person you want to invite. Hope that helps.

JDJDJD 2022-12-25 22:46

Happy Christmas everyone. May you enjoy the presence of the Lord and His peace and joy in this season.
