My story of memorizing scripture
Growing up in a Pentecostal church, memorizing Scripture was essential to my spiritual upbringing. We had Vacation Bible School (V.B.S.) every summer, and each year, we would be tasked with memorizing entire chapters or individual verses from the Bible.
Music was also instrumental in helping us remember the passages – singing hymns and choruses helped to make lessons stick.
My time in V.B.S. and the church taught me so much about learning scripture, and I was able to carry this into my adult life.
Over the years, I’ve found that those good foundational seeds in Sunday School and V.B.S. have assisted me to have a good arsenal of memorized scripture!
Recently, however, I’ve noticed that my Bible verse memorization isn’t as sharp, and I have to brush up on many verses (and chapters) I used to know. That’s why I’m so grateful for all these tools available now, like online Bible resources with keyword search functions or apps that are helpful for memorizing Scripture.
Knowing how much scripture has helped me in my own life, I’m also passionate about helping others develop a deeper understanding and love for God’s Word.
No matter where we are in our journey of memorizing Scripture, there’s always something to learn. We can use the tools available to us to help instill God’s truths into our hearts so that we can share His message with others.
7 Reasons why you should memorize scripture
Here are seven reasons why we should all be memorizing scripture:
- Grow near to God – Memorizing scripture allows us to internalize the words of God and grow in our relationship with Him. Through this, we are able to receive wisdom and understanding from Him.
- Provide Strength and Comfort – Scripture can provide strength and comfort when feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by life’s struggles. By memorizing certain verses, we can quickly recall them when needed.
- Equip for Ministry – Memorizing scripture equips us to share the Word of God with others, especially in times when help and guidance are needed most.
- Gain Wisdom – In Proverbs 4:7 it states, “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.” By studying scriptures and memorizing them, we can receive wisdom from God that will help us in daily living.
