REMEMBER!

Have you ever forgotten something and spent several agonizing moments trying to recall whatever it was?  A name.  A number.  Where you left your car keys.  It's a terrible feeling.  We need recall for almost everything we do.  Think about an everyday task.  Without recall we couldn't complete even the simplest one!  

The same is true for our spiritual lives.  We need to recall God's greatness; His holiness; His love.  That's why He's given us the Bible.  We need not just read it but also memorize it so we recall His character in the times of our day when we don't have our Bibles close by.


Memorizing scripture can be an incredible practice to engage in as a family.  But words in and of themselves will not necessarily transform us; it is God's Spirit in these words that transform.  We come to know God more when we are willing to open our hearts and receive His Holy Spirit through the words we memorize.  Have fun with these verses and think of creative ways to invite your family to open up to God as they commit these verses to memory.
