Tag: 52-Verse Challenge

It has been WAY too long since I have updated memory verses. I am sorry . . . but we can never read too much of God’s Word in one day, so here’s a full-fledged update! 🙂

Romans 8:13-20
13 – For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 – For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 – For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 – The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 – And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 – For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 – For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 – For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Psalm 101:1-8
1 – I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2 – I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 – I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 – A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 – Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 – Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 – He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 – I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Psalm 37:3-8
3 – Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 – Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 – Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 – And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 – Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 – Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

I am late in posting this (as has become the norm), but these are the past two verses of Galatians 6 that I have learned.

It has been several weeks since I have posted verses for the 52-verse challenge, but I continued memorizing, by God’s grace and strength, and now it is time for a much-needed update!!!

Romans 8:10-12
“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
“But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead ashall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.”

And then, Galatians really captured my attention – especially chapters five and six. So, I have begun the challenge of memorizing Galatians 6.
1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3. For if a man think himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4. But let every man prove his own work, for then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5. For every man shall bear his own burden.
6. Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7. Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9. Let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men; especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Have you memorized a verse or portion of God’s Word recently?

I have been continuing my memory of Romans 8, by God’s help.

This passage makes us pose the question: am I in God’s Spirit, or in the flesh? Am I born-again, or am I simply living life how I see fit?

In the past two weeks, I began memorizing Romans 8. If you cannot tell, Romans has been a book that has really spoken to me this year, and by God’s grace, I would like to memorize as much of it as possible.

This week, the Lord allowed me to finish memorizing Romans 12!! This passage has been a continual, daily challenge to me as I have been committing it to memory.

In the past two weeks, I have continued to memorize Romans 12, by God’s help.

Last week, I memorized Philippians 4:8. It is a verse that I kinda knew, but always got the order mixed up. So I dove into it determined, by God’s help, to learn the correct order of pure, true, honest, etc. 🙂

This verse has been one that I’ve “known” for years and years. But as I memorized it, one little part stuck out to me: “whatsoever things are of good report.” I imagined myself, at the end of the day, standing before God saying, “Father, here is the report of my thoughts today . . .” Wow!!! How often would I be able to give a “good report?”

This week, I memorized Romans 12:4-6. I would like to completely memorize Romans 12 and already had verses 1-3 memorized.

The ability to memorize God’s Word is such a blessing! I am grateful for all of the verses that God has allowed me to store in my heart.
