A Compact Guide to Memorizing Matthew 6 – Printables

by 1 Comment

Matthew-5-resources

Whether you signed up to memorize Matthew 6 or just to read along, we want to equip you to stay in the words of the Word, to take them wherever you go to give you pure thoughts to think on, and to provide you with words to talk to God about.

Choose your translation of choice, then download the accompanying set of pages to create your own compact guide to memorizing Matthew 6.

Cut out the 3×5 cards, then staple or hole-punch and bind all the cards together. Perhaps print an extra set to place around your house or office or to keep in your purse.

Print the 2 full-size pages—chapter-at-a-glance reviews—and put them wherever you will see them frequently (several of us laminate them or tape them in Ziploc bags in our showers!).

But remember:

Your success won’t be measured in how many words you can or can’t recite at the end of this challenge. We don’t do this to be “heard for our many words,” or to “heap up empty phrases,” but to be “rewarded by our Father in heaven who sees in secret” our desire to honor Him.

COMPACT GUIDE TO MEMORIZING MATTHEW 6:

For extra community, join our Hide His Word Facebook group. Post pictures on Instagram with #Matthew6 and #HideHisWord. Practice the verses using Scripture Typer. Share tweets using #Matthew6 and #HideHisWord.

Now you can!

UPDATE:

Our group memory challenge has ended. 

But you can still access our resources and make your own schedule! Here are the schedules we used. Plan A—All In: 1-2 verses per week. If that’s too much, try Plan B—Best Of instead: 1 verse every 2 weeks. You’ll still learn 8 key verses from James 1.

RESOURCES

Whichever plan you choose, print any of these free resources. We offer them in the four most popular versions that our memorizers use, but you can memorize in any translation you prefer.

For extra community, join our Facebook group. Practice the verses using Scripture Typer. Share tweets using #HideHisWord.

Registration/resources to memorize Psalm 27

by 11 Comments

We can do this–memorize Psalm 27!

This short but full chapter is a great one to put in our hearts and minds, to remind ourselves often that we can live confidently, not fearful of outward circumstances or enemies. We can know the Lord will be gracious to us when we seek His face.

Mindful of the busy holiday seasons ahead, we’ll concentrate on only one verse per week, taking off for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. See the full schedule here.

When you register, you will receive an email reminder every two to three weeks with the next verses and bonus memory tips and links.

For extra community, join our Facebook group. Share tweets using #HideHisWord and practice the verses using Scripture Typer.

RESOURCES

Print these free resources now to get prepared. Resources are in 3 versions! Memorize in any translation you prefer.

If you’re memorizing in NIV, Jody Collins is sharing her great Psalm 27 (NIV) business-sized cards. (If you also have resources you’re willing to share, let us know!)
