Memory verses: 3-step review to remember

Don’t lose what you fought to gain.

Embedding words from a page to words in a brain isn’t quick or easy. If you’ve memorized one scripture or one thousand, you understand. After putting in time, energy, and prayers, you don’t want those words to fade away.

But with a little planning, you can keep them in your heart with much less work than it took to put them there in the first place.

Here’s how I do it.

1. Gather verses in one place

You may prefer a computer program like ScriptureTyper or MemVerse or a phone app. As long as you capture all your verses in one location, that’s great.

I prefer a binder as home base for all my verses.

The best way for me to do it is with family, sorta like you've done before, although my little one now is getting so good at it she's leaving me in the dust...

I've been most motivated when I do it with family, too. But now that my baby will be leaving home, I'm losing my most faithful memory partner. However, she did memorize about 100 times quicker than me, so maybe I'll forget how slow I really am without her to compare myself to. ha.

Lisa, I've been using 3 x 5 cards for a long time, and just rearranged some this morning but was thinking of another way. a small-ish binder is a great idea. I see Psalm 37 on top of the pile in your picture........I just finished Psalm 119 and will be camping there next. Word for the year for me is 'Dwell'--Psalm 37 is the perfect place!

When I bought Fighter Verses, they came in a 3x5 binder. We used to use those in our school mornings, until I typed them up to put on a full-size sheet (why do I have to do things the hard way? ha). I love the flexibility that comes with having them on individual cards though. Would make it easy to set them around in different spots of the house too when you're reviewing...

I do love Psalm 37. It's one of those chapters that I need to review again though. Some sections of it were hard for me to learn but I'm so glad for what I have retained.

Psalm 119? You go! :-) That's a great place to camp for a long time.

I memorizing 2-3 verses at a time, although there are some verses that i have kind of known for sometime it's amazing how some of the words are not what i first thought. I am a post-it girl, the ones i am currently learning i write onto to post-it or two if necessary and put them where i can see them. I go through the whole chapter at least once a day although i try to do it twice if i can.

Another post-it girl--my type of gal. :-) (I have post-it notes everywhere.)

What's been hard for me is when I'm somewhat familiar with a verse from one translation, but then want to memorize it in another. My favorite to memorize in is English Standard Version, but my brain often goes back to NIV, which is fine, too.

That's good that you go through the whole chapter every day. That's a great way to keep what you've already learned and prepare yourself for what's coming next. 2-3 verses of new stuff a week is usually the max I'm capable of learning.
