Nothing with me is original. I’m a good cook, but I follow other people’s recipes. I’m a pretty accomplished seamstress, but I always follow a pattern. And I’ve written a few books, but even the ideas in those are not all that original.
And I don’t apologize for that. I’ve just written my books in order to share with others what others shared with me…that worked!
And one of the most important things that has worked in my life and that I’ve shared multiple times in multiple venues is…
Scripture Meditation and Memorization
 |
| Me at my first (and the first) Siesta Scripture Memory Team Celebration in 2010 |
So today I’d like to invite you to join me on a scripture memorizing journey I took several years ago. I won’t be hosting this particular journey. Instead we’ll all follow the woman who originally drug me along on this trek: Beth Moore.
Now, if you’d like to share your memory verses with me throughout the year, that would be fine. I’m sure I’ll share my own occasionally. But I’d like to invite you to traverse over to Living Proof Ministry’s web site now to check out how you can memorize 24 soul-satisfying scriptures during 2013 and reap multitudinous rewards (including a FREE Living Proof Live event with Beth Moore which is reserved just for those who took and succeeded in the challenge all year).
The picture above is of the cute and nifty Scripture Memory Team spirals LPM is selling this year to those who are interested. But you don’t have to purchase one to participate. Remember, you can make your own memorization album by buying a cheap 4×6 photo album at Target or Walmart, using scrapbook paper to make it say “you” all over the cover, and filling it with 4×6 index cards.
I’m begging you. Join me and join thousands of other women around the world as we eat heartily of God’s satisfying Word this next year. You won’t regret this sizable investment.
Again, here’s the link to the most important invitation you’ll receive this year… for what remains of it!
And here are a few links to blog posts I’ve written that may help you see the importance of Scripture memorization, as well as get you started on the right track:
Hey! Let me know in the comments here if you’ll be joining up. I’d love to know and be praying for you as you memorize throughout the year.
I love, love Scripture Memory and especially with Beth Moore!! I'll be joining you Kay this next year as we commit the satisfying Word to memory. This will be my third year to memorize with Beth and I can hardly wait for it to begin along with the anticipation of SSMT Celebration the following January. It is soooo much fun. I'll be praying for you this next year too and hope to get to meet you at the Celebration of a year of memorizing the Word. Christmas Blessings to you:)
Yay, Carol! I'm so glad to know another person who'll be memorizing wonderful soul-quenching scriptures with SSMT Challenge. I'll be praying for you also.
And if we both "meet the challenge" and complete the task (and I know we will!), hopefully we can meet up at the Celebration! Yippee!
Great suggestion, Kay! Beth has spurred many of us on to good works and memory verses. I cleaned out my office closet a few of weeks ago and came across a couple of old sets of verses. I may roll back through those!
I was a leader for 5th grade girls in AWANA a several years ago, and I learned so many verses just listening to the girls recite theirs! There's no more worthwhile pursuit than hiding the Word in your heart.
May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
Hugs, Susan
Thank you Susan. And Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. I've enjoyed your Christmas posts leading up to the big day!
Thank you very much for encouraging Bible memorization! A very handy way to memorize Beth's verses are smartphone apps like Remember Me (for Android and iOS). You have your memory verses with you wherever you go and you can use the natural pause moments of life to practice new passages or review old ones.
