Well done joosep such faithful scripture learning! You remain a great example and encouragement to us all. May God bless you in your commitment and with the verses of the bible learnt.
How interesting folks, I can share your frustration sometimes onfire247, in fact the more verses I learn, the less well I know each of them! I feel like my fingers have learnt them to type, but not to say.. which is a shame. Personally benefits include... (after 18 months)some structure to my quiet bible times ( often I will follow up on verses I have learnt in a bid to understand the context more) Better bible knowledge for discussion with others in church, I find it easier to discuss Christ and the cross, Christ is quicker to my thoughts and lips in everyday conversations. Peace as joosep says. On a good day when I am muttering verses to myself it feels like the scripture is part of me, flowing through me. My children watch and sometimes help me remember verses. Many more I'm sure......
