Memorize
“I
delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, Thy law is within my heart.” (Psalm
40:8)
God promised that if we memorize
His Word, He will use it to help us in times of struggling.
“The law
of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.” (Psalm 37:31)
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.”
(Psalm 119:11)
By hiding God’s Word in our hearts,
we are providing help for future struggles.
Hiding God’s Word also goes
hand-in-hand with meditating on God’s Word. If we memorize a verse, we can
often quote it during the day and think upon it.
Having verses memorized also
helps when teaching, witnessing, and sharing with others. “And
these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou
shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Thank you for stopping by! I pray that you have found something that encourages you today. Thank you for taking the time to give me a little comment - they always brighten my day. :) I usually stop by and reply to as many comments as I can, but sometimes it takes me a week or so. But if you asked a question, be sure to check back!
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
