How is everybody doing? Have you got v1&2 down?
Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields it fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Start the day by reviewing the first two verses. If you reviewed them 15 or 20 times yesterday, they should come right back to you.
Your biggest block of time is probably while getting dressed. It takes me at least 30 minutes to shower, dry my hair and put on makeup and clothes. Begin your new verse (v3) while you are getting ready.
Say it phrase by phrase, line by line, moving slowly.
You don't need to do the whole thing at once - it's a long one today.
Share the verse with your spouse, your kids, or the mirror. It all works.
Think about the verse.
How is the man described?
What characterizes his life?
How is possible that whatever he does prospers?
Does this happen overnight or does it take time?
You are now about to about 25 seconds of review time. What a great way to spend 25 seconds!
Take your verses with you throughout the day and fit in as much review as you can. Household chores are not so labourous when you add Scripture: vacuuming, unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, sweeping the front porch, taking out the garbage. These are mindless tasks. Redeem the time!
Before you go to bed, sit still, clear your mind of all distractions and review your verses. Surrender your heart and life afresh to God. Ask Him to write these words on your heart.
Don't give up - you can do this! You are forming an amazing habit!
