Recently someone asked me why
we were spending so much time memorizing Scripture about the Bible. They
thought we should focus more on verses about Jesus and God’s love.
It made me think of a song I
learned as a kid, “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so…”
We grow up loving Jesus and
believing He loves us, but as adults we are confronted with a world that does
not accept this. When they ask us for proof or why we feel that way, what do we
say? I learned it in a song?
“Do not merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves. DO what it says!” - James 1:22
We must know the Word. Apply it to our lives, and
be ready to explain it to the world. May the Word of Christ dwell in you
richly, and open your eyes to see the wonderful things in God’s law. Amen?
Be wise today and always – memorize the Word.
