Memorize The Word

As I have been writing these down, I have also been slowly memorizing them, tackling one verse every couple of days. My heart is encouraged, comforted, reproved and instructed in this and it is helping me to be able to turn to different verses for specific times of my life.In times when I feel alone I can cling to verses that remind me of the Lords love and grace towards me. When I feel like nothing is going right in my life, I can rely on verses that speak of the Lords faithfulness and his promise that he has a plan for me.Without having different verses like this Memorized, my heart is prone to easily slip into unbelief instead of faith in the promises of God and who he says he is.

If I were to ask you if you believed God is a God of love, no doubt you would most likely say yes. But if I asked you to give me a verse that says God is love, would you be able to tell me one. What if I asked for verses that say God is faithful, wise, strong, powerful, righteous, etc. These are all truths about who the Lord is, yet many of us cannot explain from where we know them, or why we believe them.

We have upon our feet the shoes of preparation to preach God’s gospel of peace. Therefore, we will stand strong and secure. We can meet any attack of the devil by raising the sWord of God’s Spirit, which is His Word.

With the battle cry of ‘It is written..’, the Enemy will turn and flee. ” Resist the devil, and he will flee from you’ (Jas 4:7).

A Wise Woman is Word-Filled « Joy-filled Days BlogI had a situation like this this past week. A friend called specifically for some advice, and after listening, I told her what I would do according to what scripture teaches. She called me knowing that I would tell her truthfully what I thought.

Great post. I am new at leading others and recently God has given me a new convert to care for and teach. It is a weighty task but one that is worthy and rewarding. I pray I will lead her in God’s truths and not in my own opinions but is it true that if I don’t know what God’s Word says I will never be able to give it to her. Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. Looking forward to reading more from you.

These are the friendships that matter. Where each person is teachable and dependent on the other to ‘set her straight in love’ if she thinks she is going to do something that dishonors the Lord.

Scripture Memory with Toddlers | Passionate HomemakingAnother great resource is Judy Rogers CD Teach Me While My Heart Is Tender ‘ It’s a combination of previous albums (Why Can’t I See God & Go To The Ant). It covers the children’s catechism and some proverbs. Judy is reformed (presbyterian) hence the catechism which was foreign to my upbringing, but WOW I can’t recommend it highly enough> Just to explain for those who may think as I did that catechisms are just for catholics ‘ it’s not true.

Also, to those asking if 9 months or 1 year or 17 months is too early, I just want to encourage you that whatever age you decide is right for you and your family to begin memorization, don’t let early age or the fact that your kiddo isn’t speaking yet stop you. The Word of God will not return void ‘ it will at the very least be an encouragement to you to set your mind on things above (especially on those really trying days) and likely your child will soak some up too. Repeating scripture to him will help influence which are the first Words he learns. God, Love, Obey, Kind’etc’ Just don’t set your hopes/expectations too high -God will bring the fruit He desires in His own good time.

A sampling of the catechism questions covered on this CD: God Made Me, The Ten Commandments, How Can I glorify God., The Greatest Commandment. I suggest researching it a bit more and considering it to supplement CDs like Hide Em in Your Heart and straight memorization.

Memory Techniques For Students

I was not aware of any Memory training techniques before reading this book. Therefore I bought this book. In the first chapters you learn several methods to remember words/objects.

I testet this and I could very easily remember 60 words on the first day of reading the book. I also tried a card stock and managed it quite well, although not fast. I guess that comes later when you are used to which images you use to represent things. The whole idea is that you must practice and find out what works for you. I didn’t test the later chapters that involved remembering a thousand words. Neither the chapters about dates and events by using the town mapping system. I guess that could be useful for students. My conclusion is that this book is a good start at learning different methods of remembering things. The Kindle version is a bit messy. Sometimes the title of a new chapter is on the same line as the last sentence of the previous chapter. There are also some other formatting issues that are a little disturbing when reading. I would have given rating 4 stars if it hadn’t been for the formatting.

Ideas for Standard Memory Goals (in Education) — Mnemotechnics.orgFor example, there is no competition event for something like facts about countries in the world (leaders, population, area, history, etc.). It wouldn’t make sense to have a competition event for something where facts could be memorized before the event. But I am thinking that if certain topics of knowledge were defined as standard memorization goals, it would encourage people to develop and share new Techniques to memorize specific sets of information.

Do OTC Memory/cognitive aid pills work. I have a huge test in about a month and a half that I’ve been studying for during the past year. There is an almost endless amount for me to learn, and I also have to be able to apply a lot of info (so its not just blind memorization).

In other words ‘ no tests have been done to see if the thing really works or not. Which usually means it does NOT work. Think about it ‘ if there really was a ‘Memory aid’ that could be proven to work, don’t you think the company making it would spend the money to prove it, and then tout that scientific proof loudly in all of their ads. Instead they show ‘customer testimonials,’ which are not at all scientific and are nothing more than anecdotes.

I have a prep book that suggests doing 4 hrs a day, but I fell slightly behind and have been doing 5. After finishing the last section I feel overwhelmed with info, and thought maybe one of those pills they sell at the health food store might help. I am also open to other suggestions about how to handle this situation. There is a lot of pressure on me from my family and employer to pass since I put so much time and money into preparing for the exam.
