His delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. —Psalm 1:2
It might seem daunting to find time to memorize Scripture when your calendar is already full, but we can look for ways to make the best use of our time.
Rather than closing your Bible when you’re done reading, leave it open to your desired passage. Every time you walk past it, read a section aloud.
If you commute to work, take advantage of audio Bible apps and listen to a passage, reciting aloud with the narrator.
Use the time when you would ordinarily scroll social media to meditate on Bible verses. As you work on remembering God’s Word, think deeply about it. Rather than emptying our minds, we want to fill them to the very brim with Scripture.
Not only will you find that memorization is more doable than you imagined, you’ll also grow in affection for the Lord and find your thoughts moving toward Him over and over again throughout your day. Keeping the living and active Word of God ever before your eyes will tether your heart to His.
