At a recent chat, we talked about how to memorize scripture; some suggestions were:
- Repeat them to yourself until you can say it without looking.
- Put them on a mirror, next to your computer, in the bathroom, on your refrigerator, or somewhere else you'll see them a lot.
- Work on just one a week or until you have it down well. Some of us have memory problems.
- Put Bible verses to music and sing them -- or buy cd's with Bible verses put to music.
- Work on a phrase at a time, learning the beginning part before working on the latter parts.
- Get easy ones that mean something to you, and put them on index cards and put them in your pocket.
- Meditate on a verse as you go to sleep.
- Don't feel pressured; many of us have memory problems -- God understands this.
- From after the chat: Remove one word at a time and repeat it, filling in the missing words.
God's grace is amazing!
