I have hidden Your word in my heart, so that I might not sin against You. -Psalm 119:11
Yes, you read the title correctly. It's time to put Psalm 119:11 into action. It's time to listen to the example that we should follow. It's time to stop sitting around, wasting time, and memorize Scripture.
Nope, I'm not kidding. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. We (and yes, I say we) need to memorize Scripture. I know some people have more trouble memorizing Scripture, but it's not impossible. Anyone can do it. How do I know that? "This Book of Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night." (Joshua 1:8) Take it from my good friend, Moses. We need to memorize Scripture. Now, I bet you're asking me, 'How do you know that the Old Testament commandments aren't just for their time?' My answer is that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16) We need to memorize Scripture. No joke. No lie. All truth.
Finally, there is a reward for memorizing Scripture. No, I'm not talking about a plastic toy, a McDonald's gift card, or even a million bucks. I'm talking about a blessing. In truth, you will be blessed by memorizing Scripture. Maybe it will be a plastic toy, a McDonald's gift card, or a million bucks. No matter what, though, you will be blessed.
