Scripture Memory Day!

So, let's see if I can remember my memory verse (if you blog, you know I can't see it - if you don't blog, I am on a completely different screen...I guess you will just have to trust that I am not looking at my index cards). Here we go:

John 1:14
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who was sent from the Father, full of grace and truth."

Okay, let me look. Not bad. Not perfect. This is what it should be:

John 1:14
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

So, very close. I will continue to work on it. Just a reminder...here is my verse to memorize for the next 15 days.

Jeremiah 15:16 (NIrV)
"When I received your words, I ate them. They filled me with joy. My heart took delight in them. Lord God who rules over all, I belong to you.

I also wanted to share something from Beth's blog about how Scripture memory is important and useful. The Word is living and active. This is an excerpt from an anonymous comment:

“Last night I had THE WORST anxiety attack that I have EVER had in my life. My sweet husband prayed over me and as I climbed in under the covers just quivering with fear, my verse that I am memorizing just came to me and I started to say it over and over out loud and such a peace and calm washed over me. Never has an anxiety attack stopped dead in its tracks as this one did-I am just in awe that in this short time I am already learning my scripture and realizing just how powerful this thing it! This works! Satan has NO authority over MY MIND to cause that kind of fear! I will wield my sword his way!”

I am so glad that I am doing this.
