Greetings in our Lord!
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." (Ps. 119:11) -- That's just one of many benefits of memorizing God's Word mentioned in the new Scripture Memorization Discipleship Guide.
Think about how having the following verses memorized as we navigate life and ministry would help us (another benefit of Scripture Memory).
- When expectations fall short: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (Jn. 16:33)
- In times of crisis: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." (Phil. 4:12-13)
- When serving with a team: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matt. 18:20)
- If assessing our Bible teaching: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2:15)
We could keep listing situation after situation and continue finding applicable Scripture. Think about an area you struggle to navigate. God's Word, hidden in your heart, recalled at just the right time, can make a real difference.
Resting in Him and His Word,
