I read Beth Moore’s blog regularly. I come away from her blog so encouraged! (and oftentime laughing outloud!) I think it is just AWESOME that I can “check in” somewhere online and receive a word from God…I don’t have to pay to go to her conference (even though I loved that too!) I can just click away on my computer! I know there is alot of bad stuff out there associated with the internet, but I for one get excited just thinking about all the women around this world being encouraged in the Word of God through a blog like Beth Moore’s! God is good!
Anyway, there are over 3000 (!!) committing to memorize scripture this year with Beth Moore. How exciting to think about the Word of God being meditated on, memorized and lived out this year.
Beth Moore posted some little “tutorials” on memorizing scripture. If Beth Moore can’t encourage you to memorize scripture, I don’t know who can! LOL! She gives us an acrostic to remember and use as we are memorizing the Word this year: RENEW!
Check out this entry with her little video tutorials!
And for those of you who are participating in the Word of the Year 2009, this is a great way to combine these 2 things: I am committing to memorize verses this year about my word – compassion!
I miss seeing you!
I’ll check out the tutorials you mentioned. I have my own little system I learned in high school, but perhaps I’m capable of learning new trick. I’m a pretty old dog, though…
My current memory project is Psalm 103. What are you up to?
I am doing this! I am so excited about learning Scripture!
Cool idea Candace! I couln’t watch the tutorials(slow old computer…) but I love memorizing scripture and we have begun doing it with our kids too. I didn’t choose a Word this year, but a scripture instead, and it has become the background on my computer so I read it any time I sit at the computer. It is a great reminder for me.
We also are reciting scripture each morning with the kids and they remember a lot faster than adults!
Candace,
I do wonderful memorizing verses with my kiddos. We do their Sunday school verses and passages for school (even whole chapters). I know the Lord wants me to work on memorizing verses for me personally. Ugh, so many things and so little time, yet I know this is one thing that’s worth the investment of time. Thanks for the reminder.
