This year, I’m committing to memorizing 24 Bible verses. That’s only 2 a month. One every two weeks. Very do-able.
I did this in 2009, also. Due to sickness, I was unable to complete all 24. This year will be different!
I’m joining Beth Moore’s challenge on her blog, The 2011 Siesta Scripture Memory Team.
I participated in 2009, also. It’s so awesome to memorize scripture with everyone, see the verses everyone has chosen, here how everyone is doing.
Here’s my first verse for 2011:
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:16
I write my verses in an index card spiral that I carry in my purse. This years will make 3 that I carry with me. I might need a bigger purse. lol Really, any little notebook will do. The index cards are sturdier, though.
I read my current verse several times a day, and in no time I have it memorized. As the year goes on, and I get more verses in my spiral, I go back and read each of them at least once a day, so I don’t forget them. It really only takes a few minutes a day, and memorizing Scripture has great rewards.
Anyone want to join me in memorizing Scripture?

Hi! I hopped over from Seams Inspired. You were on her blogroll and your title caught my eye! I would love to join you in the Memorization…
Happy Sunday & Thanks for sharing!!
Good for you! I've found another way that helps me memorize is to set up the verse as my screen saver. Each time the verse comes up, I read through it before moving the mouse.
Enjoy your year!
great idea…for me…I find it easier to read sections over and over and then somehow they get in my head. Have fun with it..
A lovely post. Have a blessed New Year.
I like this verse so well I made a graphic of it to put on my sidebar on my blog. I'm glad you shared what you are doing. It will encourage others to memorize scripture as well.
Blessings for a terrific New Year.
