Just One in the Crowd

According to the stats on Living Proof Ministries blog, Zephaniah 3:17 was the most chosen verse for the Bible memorization program. Wow. I'm so trendy. (see here)

I have not read the long long list at that site, but what a treasure of Bible verses are listed there. Need a quick devotional? Read those precious treasures.

For the second half of January 2009 I choose to memorize:

Psalm 27: 13 & 14 NASB

I would have despaired unless I had believed

that I would see the goodness of the LORD

in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;

Be strong and let your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the LORD.

Let's Start Memorizing

Beth Moore is heading up a Bible Memory challenge here.

Even if you don't want to sign up (why wouldn't you?) you can read the comments and thousands of verses chosen for memory. What a treasure trove.

On the 1st and 15th we'll each sign in on her blog with a verse. So, if all goes by plan, I'll have at least 24 verses or passsages committed to memory by 12/31/09. That's a good and attainable goal.

The first verse I've chosen is Zephaniah 3:17 in the New International Version:

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

Do you have written goals or resolutions this year?
