Do you struggle with memorizing Scripture? Yet you know people who seem able to memorize anything effortlessly?
I’m go to be honest: I am terrible at memorization, scripture or otherwise, and I have to really work at it. However, I desire to be dedicated to hiding God’s word in my heart–I want to commit to memorizing, internalizing, and saturating myself in scripture.
I’m sure we’ve all tried things like…reading the verse or passage over and over, writing it again and again, and reading it aloud. I’ve also made images with verses and printed scripture cards. This takes the most effort, but seems a more effective tactic (for me, anyway).
Because I am [obviously] no expert on the subject of scripture memorization, I’m sharing some amazing references so that we can all read and discover what works best for each of us and our learning preferences.

What’s the point?
Why do we memorize, internalize, saturate our lives with scripture? So that we know the Truth.
Without the Truth, we believe lies. And that is a very dangerous place to be!
