1. God Will Give You Justice!

Every time we are wronged by another, whether it was accidental or intentional, the LORD rights the wrong, or puts right, the wrong done to us. That is executing righteousness. While at times justice may seem delayed, it is inevitable. God puts things right, and brings about justice for all who are oppressed. Justice is what is proper or fitting for the wrong that was done. While justice is not always seen in our courts, we can be sure that God will put right, and bring about what is proper or fitting for the wrong that was done--both to us and for the one who committed the wrong.

4. Remembering God’s Faithfulness

Whether my day is one of the best days of my life, or one of the worst, when I consider all that Jesus has done for me, all that He is doing, and all He will do, I have great reason to rejoice—regardless of my circumstances. I can burst with praise to God each and every day if my focus is on His faithfulness and goodness in my life, rather than on the problems of my day.

6. How To Experience Perfect Peace In Every Trial

7. 10 Reasons Why I Memorize Scripture

For the longest time I was content memorizing a verse here or there, with no real goals and no real drive to hide more of His Word in my heart. I guess I figured if I wanted to know what a verse said, I could just look it up in my Bible. But over the last year or so the Lord has lit a fire in me to move past a familiarity of His Word to actually knowing what the Bible says by memorizing it.

Considering all the time and diligence it takes to successfully memorize a passage, I asked myself what drives me to memorize Scripture? Why do I have an insatiable desire to hide as much of God’s Word in my heart as I can while I'm on this side of heaven?

Here is why I love memorizing Scripture and can’t imagine my life without it.

8. Psalm 103 Memory Challenge

J If you missed this challenge and would like to do it with some of your friends at church or family members this post will tell you all that you need to get you started. Happy memorizing!

9. Memorizing Scripture: Good Memory Not Required

When I first heard of people who had memorized complete books of the Bible, like Janet Pope, Tom Meyer and  Ryan Ferguson, I was in awe and believed, “Wow! That is amazing! I could never do that!” But as the Lord has spurred me on to memorize various chapters of the Bible like Isaiah 53, Psalm 1, Psalm 103, 1 Peter  1, etc. I am now convinced that memorizing Scripture does not require a good memory. The key to success is much easier than you think.
