Until a few years ago everything I memorized was in NIV, but now I use ESV. The great thing about this system though is that you can jump from translation to translation and it doesn't matter. Instead of practicing the verse from your one translation you read, you can just pick which translation has the most of your favorite words and put that one on the card!Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798601639104066777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494674360021813809.post-32456483872972565952013-07-12T06:33:26.924-05:002013-07-12T06:33:26.924-05:00I'd love to like Leah's comment AND your c...I'd love to like Leah's comment AND your comment about Ava's memory box -- each for entirely different reasons. The verse I am most grateful to have memorized this week -- I seem to be using right and left as people invite me into their relationships and struggles -- is Psalm 139:23-24 "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;See if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way." <br /><br />I have a question for you memorizers out there. What translation do you use? Even as I started to type this verse that is so familiar to me, I ended up copying and pasting it from Bible Gateway -- I love the different words used to translate it in different Bibles, and I never can consistently quote it from just one. I'm that way with other verses, too. It plays havoc with memorization. Do y'all have favorite translations to memorize from? Or do you vary according to the verse? By the way, I used NASB for the verse above. It has most of my favorite words!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595076487527485013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494674360021813809.post-65569217402450813032013-07-11T18:22:18.048-05:002013-07-11T18:22:18.048-05:00John 3:16-17, Its awesome to know that Christ came...John 3:16-17, Its awesome to know that Christ came not to destroy us, but to SEEK and save us.

That girl is hilarious!<br /><br />Probably one of my favorite verses memorized is Psalm 73:26: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." My commitment to memorize this verse was came as a result of a very trying period, but man, has it come in handy in other trying times that have followed.<br /><br />And I just have to testify that I have seen the fruit of this system in your life. Lately it seems every time we speak/email, you are recalling and sharing Scriptures like a snap of your fingers. It's been really awesome to witness. I'm excited for you. And if I don't win, I'm going to get the supplies for my own kit. :)<br /><br />Something else that helped me memorize Scripture was sticking it up around my house where I'd see it all time. I put Ps 73:26 right about my sink (since I've estimated I spend 67% of my life washing dishes). I made some cards that are easy to read and I uploaded them all onto my business blog. I don't use it anymore but the cards are still there if you're interested in downloading some: http://creolepaperie.blogspot.com/search/label/Scripture%20Memory%20CardsTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241011473067421302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494674360021813809.post-48133282590955837422013-07-11T11:01:03.825-05:002013-07-11T11:01:03.825-05:00Been dwelling on Matthew 5:16 this week.
