I posted in January
that I was joining the Living Proof Ministries'
2015 Siesta Scripture Memory Team. Living Proof Ministries (LPM) is in
Houston, Texas and is headed by my favorite bible teacher, Beth Moore.
Following directions
on the LPM blog, I bought a 4" x 6" spiral notebook and applied a
printed SSMT 2015 cover over the original front cover. On January 1, 2015, Siesta Scripture Memory Team (SSMT) members,
including myself, posted their first
memory verse as a comment on the LPM blog.
Members post a memory verse on the first and the fifteenth of each
month. This gives you two weeks to
memorize your verse.
Sticking with a new
habit is for more than two weeks can be hard. However, I have been diligent
in carrying my SSMT notebook in my purse and reading my selected scriptures.
Memorization is difficult for me. Reading the scriptures in my notebook has
helped me to remember and memorize them. Am I word perfect? No, but perfection
isn't my goal - staying in the word is my goal.
How do I pick my
verses? I listen for the Holy Spirit to lead me. Some of the verses "jump off the page"
as I read my Bible, or study my Sunday school lesson. I have an internal, "that's my memory
verse" moment. Occasionally, a
memory verse will be part of my pastor's sermon. My first memory verse, Philippians
2:14-15, was part of Brother Jimmy's Sunday sermon.
Yesterday, April 15th, was time to post memory verse number
eight on the LPM blog.
Here is my verse:
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying
for all the Lord's people.
