Scripture Memory #3

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm." ~ Psalm 20:7,8

Scripture Memory #2

Well, it's that time again. I started late with the Scripture memory at Living Proof Ministries last time but actually got it memorized. I don't want this just to be memorizing Scripture but I want to really know it, believe it, hide it in my heart and live it out. That goes for all of the Scriptures that I'm learning. The new one for the next couple of weeks is found in Psalm 28:7. It says, "The LORD is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in Him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song."

Be blessed,

Walking out what we learn

We had the grandsons over last night and had a lot of fun with them. We played games and make cookies and just sat and snuggled (my favorite thing to do!) They went to church with us this morning as well. Brandon helped his Grandpa make coffee and greet people. Ethan went in with me to class. I happen to be teaching his age group right now so it was fun to have him with me. He seemed to be enjoying his time and he seemed to be paying attention and listening because when his mom came later to get him he was telling her all about it. Yay! That's always a blessing when you know they've gotten what they were supposed to from the lesson. I pray that all the other kids took to heart what they have been learning as well.
I have been working on my Scripture memory but no I don't have it down yet. I don't want to just memorize to be memorizing but to apply and learn what the Lord is showing me through His Word, to put it into action and live it out. Just as I don't want my grandson or any of the other kids in the class to just come and hear a good story and do a fun project but to take it to heart and walk it out.

Scripture Memory

Okay, like I said yesterday, I'm slow. Beth Moore and Living Proof Ministries are memorizing 2 Scriptures a month. They started on the 1st and will do another verse on the 15th. Pick a Scripture that speaks to your heart. Then go over to her site and sign up. She said it's still not too late to join them so I did. She even gives some great tips on how to memorize Scripture. Like Beth said, even if you don't memorize very well, you have still meditated on His Word all throughout the year and you will be blessed!
I chose 2 Corinthians 10:5, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
She said to pick one that speaks to your heart and this is one that I need to deal with. My thoughts can wander all over the place and they can be somewhat critical and judgmental (not only of others but myself as well) and that's not what God wants me to do with my mind. I am to think on those things in Phil. 4:8 which should probably be the next Scripture I need to memorize. Then perhaps I will need to find a verse or two on not being so late...hmmm....
