Memorizing Scripture Together

Sorry about the tardiness of this post. My internet has been down for the last couple of days. I am so glad that some of you desire to hide God's word in your heart. This is how we will approach this: We will begin this week by memorizing Psalm 1 together. It is only six verses and is a great primer for our growth together in memorizing God's word. The best way to go about memorizing is to focus only on one verse at a time. For instance, I would begin today by memorizing, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked." I would do this by reading it aloud ten times and then saying it without looking ten times. Tomorrow, go back over verse one, and add verse two by reading it ten times aloud and then saying it ten times without looking at the text. After memorizing verse two say verses one and two five times correctly in a row before you end your time for day two. Repeat this every day and you will memorize Psalm 1 by next Thursday. Please post in the comment section if you are taking part in this memorization challenge, and may God bless the reading and memorization of His word.
