2009 Goals: Scripture Memorization

As part of my 2009 Goals that I mentioned last week (click HERE to see them) I wanted to implement a daily devotional time. Today I'm adding to it.

I started reading The LPM Blog a few months ago. LPM stands for Living Proof Ministries & the blog is part of Beth Moore's ministry. Who is Beth Moore? Click HERE to read her bio.

This past Saturday she posted a challenge on The LPM Blog called Anybody Game? in which she challenges her readers (siestas) to mediate/memorize on two verses each month in 2009. That would give you 24 new verses in 2009 to help your through life's struggles and joys.

I kept that blog post & kept thinking on it & thinking on it. Today I signed up. This is something I've been sorely lacking in. I have some verses rolling around in my head from when I was a child. Verses that have stuck with me for many years but I can't remember the last time I added a new verse to my memory.

Don't sit there & say it all sounds good but you can't memorize - then mediate on it. Read it each day. Think on it. Ponder its meaning. Add it to your daily devotionals/Bible readings. As Nike loves to say - Just Do It!

  1. I've been challenged this week to memorize too.....I'm doing the Psalms study by Beth Moore. Actually, we'll begin it as a group in January but I'm getting ahead so I can do the group justice even when Feb gets crazy. Beth asks us to do 2 verses a week from Ps 122....I usually skip those challenges...but I'm trying.

    This sounds like a great goal, Lisa.

Oh thank goodness! I'm not here all alone. Thanks for leaving me a comment. It helps that I'm not always talking to myself. Right? Hello?
