We all have heard that it is good to memorize Bible verses. Having them memorized helps for when we are in times of need. It is easier to recall them when we have them memorized, then it is to try and find the verse that you are looking for in the Bible. It also comes in handy when you are in conversation with someone, it is easier to tell them the verse that fits the situation, then try and find it in the Bible, especially since you may not always have your Bible with you.
Now I know not all of us are good at memorizing text so below area few tips you can try when it comes to memorizing some verses.
Continuously Read the Quote:What ever you are trying to memorize, you can not remember it after one pass. You need to read it over and over again over a long period of time. Eventually it will become ingrained into your brain to the point where you remember it.
Write Down the Quote: There are studies that show that when we write things down we remember them more often. So instead of trying to just memorize it out of the Bible, write it down on a note card, or a sticky note. That way it is also more portable to carry so you can read that verse any where.
Break it Down into Chunks: It is extremely difficult to memorize a long phase, so if the passage is long, break it apart to manageable pieces. Then as you memorize those pieces, you can put them back together to get the whole passage.
Memorize Parts that Relate to You: There is a fair amount of text in the Bible to memorize and it can seem overwhelming. So choose something to memorize that applies to you. It could be passages about patience, or purity, or belief, or overcoming a certain sin. This way you will have a stronger desire to memorize them, and you will recall them more which helps you remember them.
I hope some of these suggestions help, and I encourage you to find a few verses to memorize over this next week.
