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 46:9

Psalm 46:9
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire. 

Begin your day by reviewing Psalm 46:1-8.

Move on to today`s verse.  You might need to break this down phrase by phrase - that`s ok.  The same principle applies - repeat, repeat, repeat. Find those moments throughout your day to redeem the time by hiding God`s Word in your heart.

Again, note the awe inspiring power of our God.  He makes wars cease.  He breaks the bow and shatters the spear - rendering them useless.  He burns the shields with fire - likely a reference to the victor burning the spoils of war in a heap.  God has overthrown the enemy AND prevented anything that would cause the enemy to return.  What a mighty God we serve.  That power protects you today.

Tomorrow will be a review day - see you Monday for v10!
