I have a terrible memory.
If I don't write something down, I'm 98.99% likely to forget it.
So I told myself that I just couldn't memorize Bible verses.
The chapters I memorized as a child? Still locked tight. The verse I spent 15 minutes a day on for five days straight? Gone.
I'd watch impressive recitations of entire books of the Bible, and I'd tell myself that I was past my prime, just not blessed that way.
And for a few years, that excuse worked.
Until I stumbled on the hands-on method of memorizing Scripture.
With hand motions and silliness, we're using various learning styles, making Bible verses stick!
Try this creative worship idea this week:
- Pick ONE verse to memorize, maybe from our James reading plan or one God's been speaking to you lately.
- Make up silly hand motions, and say it out loud a few times. If you have kids around, ask them to join you. The more, the merrier!
- Have fun! Laughter releases neurochemicals in our brains that help us learn. So have fun with this!
Which verse will you memorize this week?
May your vocabulary of worship grow as you hide God's Word in your heart.
