Even though the Bible tells us not to fear over 300 times, I’m a ‘fraidy cat. I hate to admit it, but I am. I particularly don't like spiders (even if I did dub myself "The Brown Recluse) and storms...the severe/tornadic ones, that is. What are you afraid of?

I am
fairly certain that it is
feasible
for
folks with even the
foggiest brains to memorize scripture. If we
fiercely
follow goals we make, by the time the day is
finished, we can have some scripture in our heads and in our hearts. It was written
for you, after all.
Five tips to help you memorize scripture:
find:
Your favorite verses.
flashcards:
Index cards are cheap, handy, and portable.
focus:
One verse at a time works best.
faithful:
Be faithful; spend time every day looking over your current memory verse.
friend:
Get a friend to join your effort.

Maybe I'll start using flashcards with my Sunday School kids!
ReplyDeleteFlash cards definitely working when it comes to learning. Put lots of color and pictures on there, and you'll have 'em hooked.
DeleteFall color is one of my favorite kind of F words.

Thank you!
DeleteBeautiful photo's. I have a healthy fear of weather also, have had trees fall on several different houses, I'm afraid of snakes, horses, and large dogs.

Thank you!
DeleteIf a tree were to fall on my house, I'd be even more afraid, and I am not sure if "more afraid" is possible. Really, I should trust God more, shouldn't I?
I have a terrible time memorizing Scripture. to compound that, many of the verses I have memorized began with the KJV. Then I began reading the NASB, and then the NIV. As a result, the verses I have memorized are a composite of all the versions. Sighhh. So I now refer to my memorized verses as paraphrases. :}
ReplyDeleteThe Word is, indeed, hidden in my heart--it's just not spoken out so well. :}
It's not spoken out so well for me either, at least not on a long term basis.
DeleteBoth hubby and I've flirted with the idea of retiring near my son and family in Alabama (o/s Montgomery) ... but hearing and seeing the aftermath of some of your tornado activity makes me weak in the knees.
ReplyDeleteYeah...those ding-dang 'nadoes. HATE them!
DeleteGreat tips for memorizing Scripture. I use index cards; I need to get back to it. Instead of what am I afraid of, it should be what am I not afraid of, LOL :) Mainly something terrible happening to a certain family member who God has been so generous with protecting. Love the tree :)

Yeah...I fully get the idea of what I'm not afraid of. That might be the shorter list. Bless both our certain some-ones.
