Think about all that you’ve memorized over the years. Now, think about what you’ve recently memorized. Although you may not currently be involved in an academic setting, you’re still actively learning. You can probably recall song lyrics, movie lines, passwords, credit card numbers, and much more. I often catch myself amused by the wide variety of things that have somehow been captured in my mind. I seem to be able to memorize things fairly easily. But the problem is we short-changed our efforts to memorize that which is most edifying and that which draws us closer to God—Scripture.
See my ARTICLE at Threads about why Scripture memorization should be one resolution we try our hardest to keep in 2010.
