Day 2!
If you didn't start yesterday, don't worry about catching up, just go to yesterday's post and memorize that one. When we're done this chapter we'll review it for several days till we've got it down pat, so you'll catch up then!
Can you say verse 1 without looking at your booklet? (Or whatever you're using - use something, gotta plan and be purposeful or it won't happen!)
Psalm 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.
This one's a bit shorter and easier, thankfully.
Say both verses together - repeat them over and over out loud.
It only takes about 15 seconds to say it once - this doesn't take that much time!
The psalm is now telling what a blessed man does. Exactly what we're doing!
Think about the verse and the man. Notice the contrast between verses 1 and 2.
What does it mean to delight in God's law? Does this verse describe you? Do you want it to?
Take your index spiral (or notebook, or whatever) with you everywhere. Sit it on the counter when you're making breakfast, coffee and school lunches. Review while you're at a stop light in your car, while you're waiting at your hair appointment, or while you're waiting in the dentist's office. Turn off your radio and let your mind dwell on these truths.
Before you go to bed, sit still, review your verses, and make them a prayer to God.
Please join us as we seek to know God by memorizing His Word in context. Convicted and inspired by Janet Pope's His Word in My Heart we are learning to redeem the time by including Scripture memory in our daily routines.
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)
