25 Ways to Read Scripture - Day 11

Scripture memory

When I was a child in Sunday school, we were assigned a verse to week to memorize, but our teacher did not call it memorizing;  she called it "learning the verse by heart."  It's a great phrase -- when we memorize Scripture, it soaks into our hearts in a very unique way, and our heart is able to call it to back to mind in all kinds of situations.  

Choose one verse today to "learn by heart."  If a particular verse does not come to mind immediately, try this one:

"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."   (Zephaniah 3: 17)
