Psalm 119:16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
Proverbs 4:20-21 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.
When was the last time you memorized a verse? We have children do it, but for some reason, when we become adults, we stop. Having the scripture in our hearts is more important now, as an adult, than it was when we were children.
We all have faced difficult times in our lives. The only thing that successfully gets us through those times is our faith in God’s Word. If we’re going through a divorce, we need to be able to recall a scripture that will comfort us. If we’re facing a sickness, we should be able to recall a scripture that speaks on healing. The battleground between what we’re facing and our victory is in our minds. Thoughts will enter our minds attempting to make us think we can’t get through the situations. We won’t always have access to a Bible to find a scripture to stand on. As soon as a thought of defeat enters our minds, like Jesus when He was tempted in Matthew 4, we need to be able to counter that thought with the Word of God.
Whether we’re in difficult times or not, it’s important to memorize God’s Word. It could literally be the difference between death and life.
