This is excellent! People getting excited for God’s Word, PRAISE GOD! I mean this as an additional encouragement, not boasting. About 3 years ago a friend encouraged me to memorize psalm 1 and I did in one week. It was short and easy to do. It encouraged me to delight in the law of my Lord which I extend to all scripture. About 2 years ago, my friend and I decided to try to memorize Hebrews and we did it in roughly 16 weeks. We were shooting for 1 chapter a week, but with chapters like 9 and 10 this took a couple of weeks and then at the end we recited the whole thing to eachother word for word each with 99.9% accuracy. We were on a spiritual high from doing this and decided to go on and we then memorized in order, Galations, Ephesians, Proverbs 1, Romans, Jonah, 1st John 1-2, and now Daniel 1 - 8 so far. We shoot for 1 chapter a week, but sometimes stretch that. For instance Daniel is requiring some time stretching. But I am not a genious, What has made this possible is God’s Power and the acountability and encouragement of my friend for me, and me for my friend. We could not have done this with out these ingredients. James was an awesome book to memorize. My favorite next to Hebrews. “Encourage one another day after day so long as it is still called today” Hebrews 3:13 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reporoach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5 Click here to read or post comments. |
