Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. ~ Psalm 119:11

In a world as crazy as ours continues to be, the only way we can stay the course it to hide the Word of God in our hearts.

I believe as followers of Christ that we must know who our God is, and we must desire to know Him even deeper. How do we do that? We must be in His Word. 

Consequently, when I discovered this simple, easy hack to memorizing scripture, I had to share it with you!

Make Scripture Memory a Snap with This Simple Hack

Memorization isn’t my thing…

I confess I’m not good at scripture memory, and I never have been. Truthfully, I’m not good at memorization–period. It’s just not one of my strengths.

I have tried different methods to memorize scripture. Some have worked, some not as much. Honestly, I’m the reason some haven’t worked. It boils down to our learning styles and our determination to actually commit scripture to memory. If you are anything at all like me, you like quick results without much effort. [I know that’s a problem.] 

Still, I have been determined to learn scripture, but first I had to figure out what worked for me. That took a little trial and error. When I first started out on my quest to add more scripture to memory, I was determined to memorize Psalm 34, which I did. Today, however, without being prompted, I can’t even remember how the Psalm starts out. Sad, right? It’s easy to get discouraged when you have worked so hard and for many weeks to commit that passage to memory.

Make Scripture Memory a Snap!

Then it happened that I was doing a Bible study with the ladies of my church. One week about halfway through the study, the presenter talked specifically about committing scripture to memory, and she gave a short list of places to start. She said to get cards, choose a scripture to memorize, and write it on on several cards, placing them throughout your daily path.

I wrote my scripture passage, Psalm 27:13-14 on sticky notes, and stuck it in five places I knew I’d encounter several times a day: the bathroom mirror, my Bible study book, my planner, the kitchen window, and the microwave over the stove. Each time I stood at those places or sat ready to study or work, I made myself read the scriptures. Every single time. Within days, I had memorized those first two. This trick seriously made scripture memory a snap!
