DAY 13 OF 28

  • Think about a time you messed up last week. How can these verses help you let go of that moment?
  • Who's someone you've held a grudge against? What does this passage encourage you to do instead?

Today's passage of Scripture is short and easy to memorize. But we don't memorize Bible verses, so we can win some kind of Bible-know-it-all contest. We memorize important passages of Scripture because we want God's words to be easy to access when we really need them. We'll come back to this same memory verse every week!

STEP 1: Write as much of the passage as you can remember off the top of your head. Don't worry if you get some of it wrong!

STEP 2: Read the passage again. Spend a few minutes trying especially hard to remember the words or phrases you missed. When you think you've got it, try again! And write slowly—it will help.

STEP 3: Choose a memorization hack to try today. Then, keep practicing throughout the day.

  • Write the passage on a rubber band and wear it on your wrist.
  • Make it your phone's lock screen so you see it over and over again.
  • Sing it to the tune of your favorite song.
  • Read it and repeat it out loud.
  • Grab a bunch of LEGO bricks and write each word or phrase on each one. Stack the LEGOs to build the complete passage.
  • Write it on a sticky note and attach it to your mirror so you see it every day.
  • Or add your own idea here:

STEP 4: At the end of the day, come back and try writing it down one more time.

About this Plan

More to the Story

God's story is not a story meant to be put away on a shelf somewhere, but it's one we're meant to explore and experience because we're deeply connected to it. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll take a look at the story of God and see how we can make a difference in our communities because we know there's more to the story.
