You would think that after all this time I would have this in my completed items. But…no…..I am still doing this.

I have the first half down real well. I had learned the last half and thought it was done…and lo and behold I was asked to recite it and there were holes in my memory.

So hold me accountable….folks, I really should be increasing my memorization not relearning.

Y’day I did Psalm 121. I should find one to do sometime later today.

This was a Psalm I knew so well in Malayalam (my mother tongue). Byhearting it in English was an easy task.

You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God

... Knowing and meditating upon God’s word is told to us many times in Scripture especially in the Psalms.
I will be memorizing in the ESV translation. I love the KJV the best but the ESV is much more easily shared with others and is very accurate. I received a new ESV study Bible for Christmas, thanks to my hubby.

This is the first verse I want to memorize. I have to look it up all the time. I can paraphrase it but it is much more soothing when I quote it. I’ve used this verse many times when life seems to be too much. I think it’s a great verse to start with for that reason.

I will devote a bit of my bible reading/study time each day to this verse until I can do it with ease and confidence that I won’t forget it any time soon. (Memorizing isn’t as easy as it used to be! I trust God will help with that :) )

Haggai 1:6-7 You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but don’t have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

Our reason for existing is to bring honor to God. What could be more worthwhile/lasting than to honor Him by giving up your life, just like Jesus gave up His own will to performing the will of His Father?

Ok, this has turned out to be an intention not yet a reality.

I have learned a portion of this before but I want to learn the whole Psalm in the ESV.

Action steps will be to print out the Psalm, and break down into easy sections.

Aiming to have this done by next week….

I want to do this but don’t seem to follow through. I will start with Psalm 91 from the ESV.
