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)

Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13
while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,


What are we waiting for?  
What are we supposed to be doing while we're waiting?
Are you doing that in your life today?

Titus 2:12

Today is Tuesday, so start off by reviewing Titus 1.


Titus 2:12
It teaches us to say "no" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

What teaches us to say "no" to the world's passions?

What teaches us self-control?

Why do we want to live upright and godly lives?

Yesterday's verse and today's go together.

Don't forget to meditate on what you're memorizing - don't just memorize for the sake of memorizing.  Let these words penetrate your soul.

Titus 2:11

Today is Monday so start off by reviewing Psalm 1.


Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

Review the first 10 verses before moving on to today's verse.  It's a shorter one today!

Meditate on what the verse is saying.

Who does God's grace apply to?

How do we see God's grace displayed?

Titus 2:10

Titus 2:10
and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Saviour attractive.

Begin your day with God. Don`t miss a single day.  Review while you do other things.


Ask questions that pertain to this verse. The life of an obedient and trusted slave would attract others to the Saviour. Can this apply to us as well?


Pray about your lifestyle. Ask God to make you an attractive witness for Him.

Titus 2:9

Titus 2:9
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

Another day to learn something else. Start by reviewing your eight previous verses.


Add today`s verse, line by line. You are establishing such good habits. Congratulate yourself.


Though we do not live in a society with slaves, how else can this verse apply?


Ask God for insights as you go over and over these words.


Come back throughout your day. Take one-minute breaks for God`s Word.


Tell your kids what you`re learning. They need it, too.


Keep your spiral with you wherever you go. You never know when you`ll have a spare moment.


Always come back to God`s Word before bed. If you`re too exhausted, just read it.

Titus 2:8

Titus 2:8
...and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

Wake up to a new day eager for more of God's truth. Go over your seven verses.


Can you see God's character in the things He commands for us?


Today's verse gives a why for the previous verse. Our reputation depends on our obedience.


But how can we obey if we don't know? That's why we're learning God's instructions.


Learn God's Word so that those who oppose you will have nothing bad to say.


Let this verse be a prayer to God to build in you an impeccable character and a sterling reputation so that God will be exalted by your life. He wants to honour that kind of prayer.


Say your verses over and over.


Find a kindred spirit to share what God is teaching you.


Give God your full attention at day's end. Thank Him that His Word shall not return void.

Titus 2:7

Titus 2:7
In everything set them an example by doing what is good, in your teaching show integrity, seriousness...

Discipline yourself to give your first thoughts to God.


Review what you've learned so far. See if you can do it all in the shower without looking. Then jump into verse 7. Take it slowly and carefully.


Today's verse includes when and who and how and what. Look for these. They're all important.


Keep reviewing throughout the day. Learn to recite Scripture while doing other things.


You're up to about forty-five seconds. Try to squeeze in several review times.


Say the words out loud so that you can hear them. This will aid the learning process.  


End your day with God's Word. Don't forget the blessing is in meditating day and night.
