Scripture Memory Flossing your teeth
There is no command in Scripture to memorize God's word. But
it is clear that memorization furnishes us with:
Tools for effective service: "The Scriptures
are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God, and fit him
fully for all branches of his work." (II Timothy 3:17,
Phillips) (Ever hear someone say, "Well, somewhere
in the Bible it says...")
Victory over temptation: When faced with Satan's
on slants, Christ immediately and effectively quotes Scripture:
"It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God'...Then the
devil left Him..." (Matthew 4:4,7,10,11).
Obedience to God, and success in life: "This
book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do
according to all that is written in it; for then you will make
your way prosperous and then you will have good success."
(Joshua 1:8) *
Living with Christ in a victorious fashion without gaining
command of the Scriptures is like:
Typing with arthritic feet
with wool socks on
upside down,
blindfolded
60 feet underwater - in ice cold sewage
while choking on a clogged air hose...that leaks
as someone shoots at you with a poisonous spear gun
So... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET GOING ON YOUR SCRIPTURE
MEMORY!
Have a great week!

*I am suggesting that meditation of Scripture is forcefully facilitated through the process of memorization
