LeRoy Eims on the importance of Scripture memory: "I think two of the master strokes of the devil have been to convince people he doesn't exist, and that Scripture memory is only for children. He remembers the humility of defeat when Jesus Christ, who was tempted in all points like as we are, met him with the Word of God." (What Every Christian Should Know About Growing; p. 26-27)

Psalm 1:6 (Day 6)

Day 6:

Psalm 1:6 For the Lord watched over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Give your first thoughts of the day to reviewing your five verses. Can you do it without looking?

Keep your verses on the counter where you are doing your hair and makeup.

Add today's verse. Say it out loud over and over and over.

Concentrate. Say the verses slowly and thoughtfully - meditate on what they are saying.

Keep reviewing while you make your bed and do other chores around the house. The 40 seconds for this psalm are time well spent.

Think about this final verse. The Lord Himself is watching over you! What a comforting thought.

Ask yourself the hard questions. Does this psalm call for a change in my life? Do you long to be the one who God calls blessed? Now you know how. Go after it. Don't be discouraged, you are already on your way. Ask God to help you develop good habits. Train your mind to run to God's Word, day-dreaming with His thoughts.

Practice these verses throughout your day whenever you can squeeze in 40 seconds - only 40 seconds!

Rehearse the words while feeding your animals or picking up around the house and yard.

Save the last few minutes of your day to thank God for His words of life. Go to sleep while thinking and praying about the transformation God has for you. You can do this!
