Meditate and Memorize Challenge

scripture memory graphicEach week we will post a scripture to challenge you to hide God’s Word in your heart. Commit it to memory, meditate on it and apply it to your life.

December 31 – January 6

Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Meditate and apply:

  1. How do you let your light shine before others?
  2. Do you live your life so that others are pointed toward God?
  3. Is God glorified in your life through your words and actions?
  4. What do you need to do to apply this verse to your life?

Psalm 1:2

by Julie Bruce

Psalm 1 2

Do you take delight in the Lord’s instruction? Honestly, sometimes, it’s more like cringing as the Holy Spirit convicts and works in my life. But even still, it is a delight to meditate or think on His Word as I go throughout the day. Meditating on His Word allows us to soak it up and hide it in our hearts so that as we go throughout life, the Holy Spirit will bring back to mind just the scripture we need in each moment of life. Sometimes it will be uplifting and encouraging. Sometimes it will give us the strength to take another step. Sometimes it pricks and corrects. Sometimes it give guidance and wisdom. God waits to spend time with us through the pages of His Word. So go ahead and take delight in reading the Word. Don’t make it a check-off on a to-do list. Every time you pick up your Bible, it should be like picking up a love letter from someone close to you. There should be excitement and joy as you wait and anticipate what your Heavenly Father will say to you today. Go ahead and comment with the scripture you are meditating on today. If life got busy for you today, meditate on Psalm 1:2 and let the Holy Spirit speak to you through this verse.
