Well, so far it's only two of us sharing scriptures, but that's okay. And if anyone else is led to commit to some low-key but valuable scripture memory, please join us. We're just getting started.
Here's my 2nd verse for January:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
I have written this verse in my little flip book of index cards along with Psalm 19:14 from last time (which I have now memorized after reflecting on it for two weeks plus!) as well as some others that I jot down as I come across them - not necessarily to memorize but to have close at hand when the need arises. Beth Moore posted a great little video tutorial to help us meditate upon and memorize scripture - take a 15-minute break and check out the January 8 posting: www.livingproofministries.blogspot.com.
To record your own verse and share it with me and other ThySpace readers (about 20 subscribed), simply comment on this posting. Don't forget to include your name, book, chapter and verse, and the Bible translation (NIV, NLT, KJV, etc.). Delia, please go ahead and post your first verse, too, even though we're running a little behind :-). You never know who needs to see it!
Blessings to you as God waters these seeds in our hearts - even in the wintertime!

Hi Eleanor:
I have decided to join you in this endeavor. Yes,I have purchased my spiral index cards and I am working on your first two verses. One of my favorite verses that I remind myself of is Psalm 139:4
"For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, You know it altogether." NKJV
Blessings,
Andrea
Good for you, Andrea! Just think of all the scripture that will be embedded in our minds and hearts by the end of the year!
Remember, it's not necessary for you to memorize mine if you don't want to. You can choose whatever verses are meaningful to you at a particular time. If you haven't watched Beth Moore's mini-tutorial on scripture memorization, it's worth a look - the link is in this original post.
