“Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol on your foreheads.” —Deuteronomy 11:18
Have you ever had days when you finished your Bible reading but later can’t remember what you studied? It’s easy to get so caught up in daily living that you forget to remain in communion with Christ.
God knew we would be a forgetful people, so He gave us His Word to help us remember what is true. Keeping it before our eyes at all times will keep us connected to Christ and help us discern what is true in this life.
Hiding God’s Word in our hearts through Scripture memory is a valuable tool for remaining tethered to Christ. You might think that having a poor memory would prevent you from this very practice, but I’ve learned that Scripture memorization can keep my forgetful mind on Jesus long after I’ve closed my Bible. God has supplied us with everything we need for life and godliness, and He gave us minds that can store up the treasures of His Word.
