Ever have a scripture pop into your mind at just the right time?
Or wish that it would?
It can only happen if you learn it first.
While I did learn verses as a child, it’s only been the past decade that I’ve become more intentional about Bible memorization.
And in particular, chapter memorizations.
It sounds intimidating if you’ve never done it.
But it’s not.
In fact, memorizing scriptures in their sequential order in a chapter often comes easier than learning single verses. The flow of thought can help you learn and retain better.
So this week I’m beginning to memorize Romans 8.
In community.
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2
Katie at Do Not Depart has put together a workable schedule, just two or three verses a week (but no pressure to stick to this schedule; go at your own pace).
She’s also gathered resources to help us.
- Schedule
- Audio recordings
- Computer wallpaper
- Verse cards
- First Letter cards
- Facebook group
- Twitter group
And over 100 women so far have joined in!
If you’d like to give this a try, check out the resources and start memorizing. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Living in Romans 8 the next few months is going to be good.
Hope to see you there!
