My Grandma was a real stickler about memorizing Bible verses. From the time we were little girls, she would bribe us with quarters to memorize scripture. I can still remember getting 50 cents for reciting the 23rd Psalm for her. I marvel at people who can quote chapter and verse at the drop of a hat…but I also know that once you read the Word of God, you may not be able to recite it back, but the essence of that Word has been planted and established in your heart. And from that time on, it’s there for the Lord to bring up to your remembrance. He can use it to remind you of the correct path to take when temptation is calling…He can use it to comfort you, when the world has turned it’s back on you…and He can use it to tell you just how much He loves you.
