Tips to memorize scripture:
Repetition- This is how you memorize most other things in life. You sing a song over and over again until you are singing it in your head without even knowing it. Repeat a verse over and over again. If it is a short verses read the whole thing, if it is a long passage then break it up into pieces.
Have a plan- Maybe it is to have a new verse memorized every week, maybe it is 3 verses memorized a week. Whatever it is, stick to it! This will help you track your progress and see how far you have come.
Use the memory cards- These are designed to be small and portable. You can stick them to your computer, your binder, or even your backpack. Anywhere that you will see them and remember the verse. I keep my right on my computer because that is what I stare at all day long. The verse will pop out to me when I need encouragement or a reminder.
Chew on it- Not literally, but ponder it, think about it, meditate on it. Is there a deeper meaning to this verse? Do you understand all the words? Really digging in to the verse will not only help you understand it more, but also will help you remember it.
I hope this helps you to memorize scripture more, and find a passion for God’s living and active words.
