SCRIPTURE: Memorizing God's Word

Most of us have a scattering of Bible verses memorized:

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  
Psalm 23The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,  he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
 
 
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
 
 
Philippians 4:13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
 
 
John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
 
 
Romans 8:28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
 
 
Isaiah 41:10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
 
 
Proverbs 3:5-6Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
 
 
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
 
 
Galatians 5:22-23But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
 
 
Hebrews 11:1Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
 
In my connection group we are working on memorizing Psalm 119 - the longest "chapter" in the Bible with 176 verses. Here is a link to my Facebook Page to see the video for this blog last night. Enjoy! The video is pinned at the top.
