I find it hard to memorise Scripture. Most of the verses that I can recite now are the more “popular ones” and those I have committed to memory when I was a teenager. I wished I had memorised more then!
The top few passages I can recite without any problems are John 1:1, 3:16, Phil 4:6-7 and Prov 3:5-6. I can most probably do Psalms 23 as well but not without some slight difficulty, and maybe Psalms 1 if I tried hard enough and squint my eyes to activate the brain juice a bit more.
I need to do better.

I agree, it gets harder but I still remeber the ones I learned as a child.
ReplyDeleteI remember only the ones for Kid's EE gospel presentation. Now I don't know it but when I need to recite it, it somehow goes on auto-mode. :) Last time the CG used to have a BMV session and even quiz after 15 verses memorized. Maybe we should start that again. Your Friday bible study, too?
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteYup, wish we did more then eh? :)
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteHow many verses then do you know by heart? Roughly?
Nope, our Fri bible study, no memory verses. Most of us elderly - sure complain one! haha
