I’ll look forward to that. I’m just re reading Nancy Leigh DeMoss’s book “Choosing Forgiveness- your Journey to Freedom.” Its excellent! A verse set would be great 😊 👍
I see you will be overtaking me very soon 🎉 Go Luli! And you’ve only been here half the time I have😳 You’ve worked so hard. And it’s great to see you still adding a verse a day. There’s no stopping you! May you grow more like Christ every day. Ooh I’ve just realised that’s another reason I forgot to put which motivates me to learn scripture every day 🙂
On a side note, does anyone else have problems getting lost in the middle of the chapters in John? I did not struggle with chapters 1-5, but starting with chapter six I get lost in the middle. The same thing happened with chapter 7 and 8. I don't seem to struggle with the beginnings and the endings, but for whatever reason the middle gets muddled. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how to overcome it? I thought about mind mapping the chapters to help visualize the flow of the chapter, but I haven't had time to try it yet.
I thought I would find Psalms easy as there is so much repetition but I find it really hard. I prefer reading the Psalms. Or listening as I fall asleep. 😊
I thought of something else today as I was walking and thought I’d add a ps to my response. I really do want to hear that “well done thou good and faithful servant” when I meet the Lord. So if I want to know what pleases Him I have to know His word. I too enjoyed everyone’s contributions.
Onfire if we both manage it we should get to the level 10 badge within a month of each other. Having your company along the way will def keep me motivated. You do have the added help of getting badges along the way. (I don’t see any reward until 2 and a half years time) Your next badge is in 3 months time. You can do it!
Oh my! You did it! Amazing. I know that is so hard to do and shows such commitment. Well done and thanks for showing us it is possible. I definitely get so much more when I add a verse a day. Praying you will be blessed by all the scripture now tucked away in your heart. Stay blessed. You are an inspiration! And I’m so proud of you and happy for you. Not for the badge but for the fruit in your life. (Although the badge is great too 🥳😉)
I think Joosep and Symota have said it far better than I could. In a nutshell I want to know God. Who He is and His attributes. And how I can please Him. I came across this website in a period when I was very low. I was desperate to learn how to lean on the Lord and draw my strength from Him alone. I needed to know more of His word so I could trust Him through the bad times as well as the good. I love meditating as I learn and noticing the small details. I love that feeling of Wow what a good God we have. I would miss it if I simply read scripture but I get that so much more as I slow down to learn. I’ve also heard of many folks who lose their memories in old age and yet they can recall scripture they have learnt. So I’m arming myself for that possibility. Or just lying awake at night and struggling with worries. It’s good to have those verses right there in my mind already that I need to focus on truth rather than the worrying thoughts that can threaten me and in times past might have dragged me down. I hope that helps. It’s great that we can encourage each other along on our journey.
Rvfc2 I think it might work if you go to the list of verse sets that you are learning (on my iPad it’s top right of the screen right beside my name.) then click on the verse set you want to review. Then click the learn button at the bottom even though you already are learning it. It will take you through the verses in that set in order from the top. Hope that helps.
