Psalm 119:11I have chosen to hide your word in my heartthat I might not sin against you
This is one verse I have memorized.
One verse is a pebble in my bucket.
We drop the pebbles in the bucket so that like the crow we can drink from the water of life.
We can call up these pearls when we need them most.
When we hit a crossroad the pebbles we have memorized help us to make a biblically choice.
By memorizing God's Word we carry it with us and are less likely to be lead astray.
My heart may have been in the right place when I attempted to memorize 1 Peter but my grasp of reality was not.
My timing was off and I never made it out of the starting gate.
I am beginning 2013 by challenging my self to hide Psalm 71 in my heart. I have fourteen weeks starting January 13th to hide Psalm 71 in my heart.
