Memorizing Scripture: The Basics, Blessings, and Benefits of Meditating on God's Word

Reclaiming the art of Scripture memorization

Bible memory has fallen on hard times. It can feel unnecessary since we have Scripture at our fingertips. Or it just feels daunting and unattainable--you know it's important, but you're just not good at it.

Writer, mother, and lover of Scripture Glenna Marshall shows us that to love God with our hearts, we must first love him with our minds. Through Scripture memorization, we begin to meditate on God's word. This causes us to think deeply about God, which leads to intimacy and trust. Scripture memory bolsters our daily faith, grows us in discernment, and gives us courage to walk through trials. It arms us with what we need to share the gospel, to fight sin, and to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ!

But how and where do we begin? Glenna gives us practical tools! Even long passages or books of the Bible can be hidden in our hearts with small, doable, daily bites. You'll look at how to memorize Scripture in Bible study groups or local church settings as well as with children and friends.

Scripture memorization is the path we travel to obey God's command to meditate on His Word. You will be transformed as the Bible takes root in your heart. The more we know His Word, the more we will--with the help of the Holy Spirit--be shaped like Jesus. You can do this! Memorizing Scripture shows you how!
