Memorizing Important Scriptures—continued

Here it is! Your final scripture memory assignment. I have now given you 12 lessons containing around 70 basic verses from the Bible that every mature Christian should memorize and review. You will need these verses when you face temptations, tests and trials. Plus you may need them in future days when true followers of Jesus will face persecution. (That is already happening in much of the world.) You have also been challenged to memorize the names of the 66 books of the Bible—39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament.

These final scripture verses are from the Old Testament. Go to work and hide them in your mind and heart. You can find all the previous lessons here on our website.

56) How it all began—not through some accident of evolution but by the awesome power of God.

      Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

      Joshua 1:8 "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night,

58) This is the golden Pslam—only 6 verses and worth memorizing. Jesus will be your Shepherd in life and your companion in death. 

      Pslam 23 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still

      waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley

      of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Your prepare a table before

      me in the presence of my enenies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the

      days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever."

59) Make the Lord Jesus your first delight and watch what He does with the desires of your heart.

      Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." 

60) Learn to treasure time of aloneness in daily Bible reading and prayer. Then you will see how real God can be to you.

      Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" 

61) Here is how every one of your days can count for time and eternity.

      Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways

      acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

That is what makes a winner, not a loser!
