Great memory! I don't think so!

"Great Memory" do you have it or not?

Your friends says to you "I’ve got to look up the Miller’s number."

You say “Oh, I know it. It’s 333-36 . . ."

Don't we memorize all the time, don't we memorize every single day?
Don't we say to our friends “So if you take I-69 to exit 41, then turn left at Dippy Burgers . . .'You'll find a great new store"

For some reason we can remember information that we use or think about a lot.
If someone asks us about a movie "Oh yea that movie was directed by Frank Capra. It came before It’s a Wonderful Life."

So, My question is why does it seem so hard to memorize the most important things?
I hear this all the time and I am right there with you; “Oh, I’m so bad at memorizing Scripture." “Yeah, I just can’t remember it.”

Memorizing the Word of God will cleanse and renew my mind. It’ll help keep me from sin. It’ll help me say NO to My flesh, and it will protect me from wrong thinking patterns. I think I can memorize more than I think I can.

“Okay, I’ll quiz you first. Let me hear it.” next time you see me quiz me Ok?
“Psalm 119:97. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day

If I truly believed this verse I don't think it would be hard for me to memorize the word of God. If I truly believed that I loved the word so much that I need to meditate on it all day and all night I would be memorizing it today.

My pray of confession: Lord I confess to you today that I am not where I should be in memorizing your word. I do want to know your word and tuck it in my heart, so that everyday as I need your word, your words will speak to me. Lord help me to put this first in my life. Help me to truly love your words like never before. In Jesus name: amen......

Are you with me to? If you are let me know...post how you feel
Love you all
