"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11
This is something I have tried to do more of recently: memorizing scripture. There are so many blessings and benefits that flow from having God's Word ingrained in your mind. It helps you meditate on verses more and when you feel fearful or stressed, it helps to have a verse to go to that will help bring His peace that "passeth all understanding..." (Philippians 4:7) to your heart. And more recently for me, I've recited the passage in my mind on morning walks I take with my Mom and sisters. The biggest chunk of scripture I've memorized so far is Psalm 84 besides the few bits of verses I've stored in my heart already. I encourage you to memorize His Word more... then maybe, just maybe, you'll find your heart and mind brimming over with His promises and His truths. I'll leave you with a verse from the hymn "Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart" composed by Ernest O. Sellers. Thy word have I hid in my heart, That I might not sin against thee; That I might not sin, that I might not sin, Thy word have I hid in my heart. Have a great rest of your week! What are some scriptures you've memorized so far? What other ways have helped you memorize scripture?

Just read Ps.84. Good to have that put to memory. Scripture is the best of thoughts to have in our mind. Philippians 3:13,14 are 2 verses recently memorized by me

Oh I love memorizing Scripture! I never thought I could do very much of it until I did the Bible Bee in 2018 where I learned I can memorize a lot, even the whole book of James! A program for learning things that works wonders for memorizing is Quizlet, if you ever want to check that out. So happy you've started memorizing! :)
