Since my computer is being
worked on this week, I’m borrowing one that doesn’t have the same version of
Microsoft Word. Therefore, all the articles on my thumb drive can’t be accessed
this weekend. Instead of trying to remember and retype one of them, I thought
I’d give you a bit of inspiration in a to-go size.
This year, I’m participating
in Beth Moore’s Siesta Scripture Memory Team (SSMT). This group of thousands of
women is memorizing Scripture verses over the weeks and months of 2015. As we get
close to the midway point of the year, I can already see the difference it’s
making in my life. I feel so much closer to God than I did prior to this year,
and I can hear Him a bit more clearly. There really is something amazing about
having His Word living and breathing within me.
Here are the verses I’m
currently working on. I am not learning them all at once. I'm breaking it down, verse by
verse, and learning just one each week. The deeper I get into it, the more it builds upon itself. I hope it brings you encouragement for the
coming week.
Ephesians 3:14-21 (NIV)
14. For this reason I kneel
before the Father,
15. from whom his whole
family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16. I pray that out of his
glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your
inner being,
17. so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established
in love,
18. may have power, together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love
of Christ,
19. and to know this love
that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the
fullness of God.
20. Now to him who is able
to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that
is at work within us,
21. to him be glory in the
church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Happy Mother’s Day!

I started seriously memorizing scripture about 4 years ago(I was 13). Since then I've learned that it is SUCH a blessing to have God's word with you in your heart at all times. Thanks for sharing these verses!
Thank YOU for sharing a piece of your testimony, Ally! You just made me smile really big. You started memorizing Scripture at thirteen? So proud of you! And I'm thrilled to have such a young reader (at 17, because I can totally add; I'm a math tutor, so I hope I can add, lol). God bless you, girl. Hope you'll visit again soon.
Andrea: Just discovered ur blog. Very nice. I also love to memorize scripture. It is amazing how empowered you feel when you have his "wisdom, love, grace and mercy" with you at all times. See also my blogs at normajdougherty.com/blog
Norma, thank you so much for visiting my blog. I'm always thrilled to have new readers. I think I'm just learning to tap into that list of loveliness that you mentioned through Scripture memorization. God is so amazing, isn't He?
