Hello, hello, hello....
Week six of our Bible Memorization Project. So, how are you doing? If the progress of the women in Tuesday morning bible study is an indication, you must be doing stellar. We were thrilled to see how many are right on track and some who weren't quite where they wanted to be but were determined to finish the project. Your tenacity to hide God's word within your heart will pay off. Don't give up. Ten weeks from now is going to come no matter what, wouldn't you like to be able to mark that time with having accomplished your goal. You will not be sorry you did.
This verse keeps mulling around in my head as I write this blog;
"Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this." 2 Timothy 2:7
To put it another way, God will give you understanding as you reflect on His word. I am wondering are you reflecting on what you are memorizing. Has God given you deeper understanding as you have? If you have found a deeper richer meaning as you have been commiting your scriptures to memory why don't you share those insights either as a comment on this post or with someone else who is also memorizing. Nothing is as thrilling then sharing fresh perspectives with others as His word comes alive to you.
I would also like to present a challenge to any of you who are starting to feel that the Bible Memorization needs to be cranked up a notch. Why not take a verse that you don't understand and "reflect" on it as you memorize and let's see if God brings you revelation. According to 2 Timothy 2:7, He will. How's that for an explosion of excitement just waiting to happen? Go for it?
Well I have picked my memory verse for today. It came to mind as Annie was teaching today about dedication. See if you can pick out from my verse what I am dedicating to the Lord. :-)
"Do everthing without complaining and arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life" Philippians 2:14-16a
Your turn......love you guys. You love for the Word blows me away!
I am so encouraged with this project. I'm memorizing the Full Armor of God verses in Ephesians 6. There have been several instances where these verses have come to life in a timely manner, reminding me that we're in battle and need to be fully armored. Thank God for HIS word.
ReplyDeleteEphesians: 6: 18 and always pray in the spirit with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NLT)
