Wow. What a bundle of delight here! Thanks for sharing, Lisa. Memorizing scripture is so important yet we tend to skip that. Thanks for reminding us of this and helping us along the way. Blessings to you!
Exactly, Mari-Anna – we sometimes forget that memorization is just as important for adults. We tend to stress it with children, but we adults need the constant flow of truth into our brains and hearts too.
Oh these are wonderful words of wisdom, friend! Thank you so much for pointing us to truth that will truly help transform our minds and our lives – from the inside out!
Thanks, Stacey. Yes, allowing God to change us from the inside out is the best way to make a real change!
This post is so helpful! I’ve pinned it to refer to later. Memorization is something I need continual encouragement on, so I appreciate having all these tips and resources in one place!
I hope this will be helpful, Jana! I like having it all in one place, too. :) We will continue adding to it in the months to come. Thanks for pinning.
Lisa, thanks for all these wonderful resources. I love reading and memorizing God’s Word. After all, so much about the Bible encourages us in letting Scripture change us. Like, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11
Yes, Karen! The words themselves encourage us to stay in the Word. It’s a beautiful cycle. Glad to know you’re a memorizer too. :)
Thanks for sharing these great resources for scripture memorization. One of my favorite ways to help my fourth grade sunday school class memorize scripture was the white board method where I would erase a word or two each read through. By the end they knew the verse down! I actually have used this method for myself as an adult! :-)
I love your disappearing-word method on your white board, Karen! That works. It reminds me of Scripture Typer (now BibleMemory.com) that gives you every other word, and you fill in the blanks. Then it can reverse full/empty spots for further review.
I’ve found that typically what works for kids, works for adults, too, yes? :)
Hi Lisa!
Thank you so much for mentioning BibleMemory.com (The Bible Memory App)! My sweet nephew is the creator of that app and I’m so proud of who is in Christ. He actually created the app as a personal method to memorize scripture and it blossomed from there. He and his wife created the Bible Memory Kids app after they started their family too! I’m going to reach out to you through email about the app and affiliate program, if you don’t mind.
Blessings,
Ashley
Oh, that’s wonderful Aunt Ashley! :) We at Do Not Depart and the Hide His Word Facebook group absolutely love your nephew’s app. It really has been a game-changer for so many of us. Let him know that he’s really been a blessing to us.
I sure will, Lisa! I can’t send the link here but if you’ll email me at AshleyPhillips4848@gmail.com I’ll send you a link to the affiliate program.
Ashley
Okay, just sent you an email. Thanks, Ashley.
Thank you so much for all your effort and for sharing these materials with us!
You’re welcome, Kim. We’re blessed to have you as part of our Hide His Word community for so long!
