I apologize for being a day late. Sickness has caught up with me. I did want to address this chapter though and maybe it will be ever so brief.
Scripture memory may or may not be a thing that inspires you. But the verse, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11
I think Bible memorization programs for kids are a spectacular way to infuse our thinking with God’s way of thinking. As we get older our capacity or interest begins to lessen concerning these matters. In those instances, I find it useful to find verses that really connect with where I am in life at the moment. I word of encouragement, a promise, a reminder of where to set my hope. Adult learning generally centers on things that matter to us in the moment.
The book made a couple of suggestions, and the smaller one concerning love goes like this…
“4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails.” I Corinthinans 4-8
What a great reminder of what love is, and who of us doesn’t need a reminder often!! Write it on a note card, put it on a post it on your mirror, on your monitor. Read it enough to let it soak in at least, and maybe even get memorized at best. It will come in handy when someone is treating you in an unlovable way.
