Hi Lisa! Such detailed resources. I usually go for a walk with a scripture. I’ll take it with me for the day and try to recall it at various times. I’ll have to bookmark this page. I’m sure I could benefit it. Thanks. Visiting you from Hear It, Use It. Have a great week.
Taking a walk with a scripture sounds like a lovely idea, Lisha. So peaceful and rich. I’ve done that on occasion at the beach if I’m by myself (not too often, ha). Hope you have a great week, too.
Hi Lisa, I am so encouraged by your urging us on, especially the list of reasons to not be discouraged, in your reflections section. Thank you!
Thank you, Jennifer! I wasn’t sure if I should include the Reflections category, but you make me glad I did. 🙂
Lisa, this is great! What a goldmine of Scripture memory resources you’ve put together here! Thank you! I was especially attracted to your posts on reviewing verses already memorized. I love how you put it, “Don’t lose what you fought to gain.” You gave me a lot of great tips. Thanks!
Thanks, Brooke. I’ve been meaning to put this together for a long time but just now got around to doing it. 🙂 You’ve been a great resource and encouragement to me for scripture memory!
A lot of resources here. I especially love #5 of the “5 reasons to not give up.” Because God can do the impossible! Makes me think of Isaiah 55:11 – “It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Thanks for the encouragement, Lisa.
Glad you connected # 5 to Isaiah 55:11 because that is one of my favorite verses and I always like being reminded of it. That truth removes some of the pressure off me that I place on myself and puts it back on God, who can handle it much better! 🙂 Thanks for the return encouragement, Trudy.
