Here’s a great way to memorize one Bible verse.
It’s called the “7-Day Scripture Memory Challenge.”
I tried it in April and loved it.
I’m doing it again in May.
You register with the Navigators at http://navgift.org/together and they send you a daily text message for 7 days with simple and effective ways to memorize a Scripture verse.
NOTE: Navigators is a reputable Christian ministry. They’ve been around a long time. You can trust them with your contact info.
For April, the verse was Hebrews 11:6 —
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek him.” (NIV)
Here’s the text message I received on April 1:
“Studies have shown that writing something by hand improves your brain’s ability to remember something, and that writing in color increases retention even longer. So here’s your first challenge:
Write out Hebrews 11:6 several times on note cards or sticky notes. Write in different colors, or choose keywords and write those in a different color than the rest of the verse. This also helps because now you can place your cards where you will see them throughout the day – at the kitchen sink, in your bathroom mirror, and more!”
This is one practical way to memorize a verse – write it out by hand. I did that a few times for the next several days, and it certainly helped.
The memory verse for May is Isaiah 41:10. You can use any translation that you like. I’ll be using the NIV again:
“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
The next 7-Day Scripture Memory Challenge will be in July. We’ll be memorizing Romans 12:2. To sign up, click this link by July 8th.
