UPDATE:
REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED
Have you heard or (or completed!) the Couch to 5K training program to prepare for running a 5K? Try that approach to memorize 6 Bible verses in 6 weeks! Go from Less to Full (our L2F).
Spiritual Training
Ready for a little spiritual exercise? We’ve got a training schedule for you to go from hope-LESS to hope-FULL.
How?
Learn by heart Lamentations 3:21-26 with us, beginning October 1, 2018, for only 6 weeks.
One Step at a Time
In my 20s, I was a runner. But the older I got, the less I ran. However in my late 40’s, I wanted to run another 5K. So I picked up the Couch to 5K (C25K) training program.
Taking the first step of a new challenge is often the most daunting one. That’s why C25K starts with just short walks.
And that’s why our newest Bible memory challenge starts with just one verse:
“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” Lamentations 3:21
What will we be calling to mind? Read all of Lamentations 3:21-26 right now and see!
Our goal will be to learn these six verses, which may likely be familiar to you, and let them saturate our hearts and minds with God’s grace.
Regardless of how bad you think your memory is, or whether you think you have the self-discipline to stick to it, or if your time is too limited as it is, we’ll help you get these six verses.
One step at a time, one week at a time, we’ll walk this out together and give you a gentle push when you need it.
Get Your Resources
- Reminders of hope
- Mercies that never end
- Faithfulness of the Lord
When you sign up, we’ll send you a link to download your Lamentations 3 Memory Package in one of four translations (ESV, KJV, NKJV, NIV). (But you can memorize in whatever translation you prefer.)
We’ll also send you an email each Monday morning throughout the 6 weeks to remind you of the verse of the week.
Run Together
We don’t have to run our race alone. By staying with each other, we can set a pace where everyone can keep up.
You can also join our Hide His Word Facebook group now for extra encouragement, tips, and links to stay motivated.
I did successfully complete my 5K after training with C25K that fall. I was glad. Physical exercise is important.
But the benefits of spiritual exercise? They last forever. You’ll never regret walking step by step with God on your journey through life (and it’s much easier on your joints!).
And who knows? Once you experience the joy of hiding God’s word in your heart, you’ll be ready for a half-marathon in January 2019 when we tackle memorizing a full chapter of the Bible.
Please share this post you’re reading now, or this pdf invitation, with your friends or your church’s small group. Together we can discover the Lord’s mercies truly are new every morning.
