Memorizing the Word of God

Hiding God’s Word in our heart is a key component to Christian growth. There are many wonderful verses in the Bible which can be an encouragement to you daily. If you are new to memorizing scripture, then these are some great Bible verses to memorize. You can add to this list and keep learning the scripture and that will be great treasure for you. In psalms 119:11 says “I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR WORD IN MY HEART THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST YOU”.

 Chuck Swindoll wrote, “I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified” (Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life [Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994], p. 61).
