Psalm 121:3
He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber;
Start off this morning by reviewing the first two verses of Psalm 121. Can you do it without looking?
Now move on to today`s verse. Repeat it over and over again. Once again, it`s a fairly short verse, so it shouldn`t take you too long to learn this one. Just keep repeating it over and over again - while you`re brushing your teeth, blow drying your hair, putting on your makeup.
Once you have the 3rd verse down, start repeating all 3 of them together. So far you`re still under 20 seconds. Who can`t find 20 seconds in their day? You can!!
Meditate on the verses and what they mean to you. After all, we`re not memorizing for the sake of memorizing. We`re memorizing to draw closer to God.
Isn`t it amazing that our God - the very Maker of heaven and earth - will watch over us with such care?! He never sleeps, and He will never let you down.
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)
